Chromium Embedded Framework MP3 support

Question

I\'ve downloaded Chromium Embedded Framework r306 for Windows and built it. Unfortunately, it shows, that it doesn\'t support mp3:

Answer 1

the options to enable proprietary codecs (i.e. H.264 and MP3) have been moved since the last answer.

you can read my answer with all the details on how to compile CEF with enabled proprietary codecs

the magic now happens here:

set GN_DEFINES=is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome

there is 2 batch files that you should update/create (as found here):

c:\code\chromium_git\update.bat:

set CEF_USE_GN=1
set GN_DEFINES=is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
python ..\automate\automate-git.py --download-dir=C:\code\chromium_git --depot-tools-dir=C:\code\depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build

c:\code\chromium_git\chromium\src\cef\create.bat:

set CEF_USE_GN=1
set GN_DEFINES=is_win_fastlink=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
call cef_create_projects.bat

There is 2 wiki articles that explain how to build CEF/Chromium:

1. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md
2. and BranchesAndBuilding in the same wiki
