XF 2.1 Uploaded video not working in Chromium

[tommydamic68]

I uploaded a video and it plays fine on Safari but doesn't play in Chromium, any thoughts or a bug perhaps?

I can confirm that the video does not play in Chromium. But then it does play in Chrome and Firefox.

Generally you can chalk this up to differences in the availability of codecs.

To be absolutely clear to anyone who might come across this in the future: we do nothing to the video files other than try to render the file you uploaded using a native HTML5 <video> element.

If it doesn't play, it doesn't play and it will be down to the codec support in your browser and/or OS.
