Youtube won't work in certain videos

Post by thefunkyjoint »

Hello,

I've noticed that when using CEF4Delphi browser, Youtube will refuse to play some videos, but not all . Changing user agent seems to make no difference.

Here is an example, tested on the SimpleBrowser demo :

Anything i could try to fix this ?

Hi,

Some YouTube videos use proprietary codecs, especially the videos with a Live red tag.

You need to build the CEF binaries with the proprietary codecs enabled. Follow this guide to build them :
