Sending videos on Whatsapp web

[thefunkyjoint]

Hi,

I did a custom app for use Whatsapp Web with CEF4Delphi. Everything works, except the sending of videos... somehow when i try to send a video file (mp4) Whatsapp claims the file is not supported. The same file sending on regular Chrome works.

Is there any extra configuration that should i try on CEF4Delphi ?

Thanks

If this is what's happening to you :

...then you need to build the CEF3 binaries with proprietary codecs enabled.

Any hints about how to do it ? I have no clue

I'm not a Visual Studio expert but this thread and many others in that forum have guides and clues about it :

You will need a very powerful PC with lots of RAM.
It takes several hours to build the binaries.

Sounds hard... Do you know if is there any video format that is not proprietary and could run in the default binaries ?

When you visit html5test.com with any CEF4Delphi demo it says that it supports these video codecs :

• Ogg Theora
• WebM with VP8
• WebM with VP9

That's nice, thank you for the info !
