Having troubles with Flash I tried the youtube html5 videos and after thirty seconds of playing with Chrome it stops and says "missing plugin". Does it not support it on Debian as the website for Chrome says it does support hmtl5.
Iceweasel doesn`t play anything just goes to try and play flash (I have now uninstalled Adobe flash as it`s performance is awful on my system) nor does Epiphany, any ideas what will?

Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
HTML5 plays fine here in Chrome, not sure what's your problem, just saying that it should work fine.

Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
Are you using Google Chrome or Chromium? I have the Chrome beta, maybe you have the stable version?
I might have to uninstall and reinstall chrome if it keeps happening and it`s working for you.

I tried Google Chrome Beta and Unstable, it worked in both.

Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
For Iceweasel, you may try the "System Video" addon, which will try to play HTML5 content such as h.264 mp4 video in something like the gecko-mediaplayer plugin instead of the program's builtin player. This of course requires an mplayer that can play back that content.
For the original problem: did you get Chrome direct from Google, or is it a "safe" rebuild?

Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
to check which version you are running, what does dpkg -l | grep -E '(chrome|chromium)' return?

Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
I updated to the newest Beta of Chrome and same file played okay but I haven`t tried other files yet as bit busy and been sort of getting more used to other aspects of Linux.
As regards Iceweasel I`m not really a big fan of that, for some reason it`s the only browser that will just randomly exit for no apparent reason often when I click the mouse somewhere in the browser window so I tend not to use that. Wish more companies like BBC would start supporting html5 video.

Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
I just tried a build of Opera 10.54 (a static build for Ubuntu, but I guess my QT 4 libraries were compatible, and it was not a deb, just a tarball of the executable and libraries) that supports the new Google WebM vp8 codec that will soon be available for every video in YouTube. The sample worked a treat, as they say. Firefox and of course Chrome will support this codec very soon, too. Hopefully this can be a viable alternative to Flash.

The video plays in the latest Google Chrome dev, using html5.stevepusser wrote:I just tried a build of Opera 10.54 (a static build for Ubuntu, but I guess my QT 4 libraries were compatible, and it was not a deb, just a tarball of the executable and libraries) that supports the new Google WebM vp8 codec that will soon be available for every video in YouTube.

Re: Chrome on Debian - no html5 support?
I`m finding that some html5 videos play and others show the progress indicator saying they are playing but they don`t show anything past the first frame so maybe there is an issue with my setup somewhere although I haven`t realy messed with it as such, I will try to figure it out but if it`s working on your system it must be something about mine that affects html5 sometimes.
