That is the reason why I had to move from chromium to google-chrome - it has better support for video playback and is also able to play HTML5-style MP3 files, i.e. <audio> tags.
And you had to bump a year-old thread to say this?

that website is a trainwreck (clicked the link on my wifes computer that doesn't have a customized hosts file, ads everywhere, popups, holy hell)
do you use kde as your DE? if so, do you have the proper phonon packages?
can you play DivX and/or AVI files in a separate player successfully? i know you mentioned that it works in firefox...
i wonder if it has anything to do with the way chromium passes instructions to other programs, as explained in the wiki here... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … nvironment
haha, with add block the site is fine. I use openbox as my WM and I don't have a DE. I just think that it is weird that I get sound but no audio / video so the plugin must at least load

]]>Have you tried deleting all chromium config files in the ~/.config folder? Perhaps chromium is still trying to use gecko based on something holding it up in there.
Honestly I have no ideas, but now I really want to fix it.

Ahh sorry. Does the plugin not work for all videos? Or are only having problems with one site or type of video?

]]>Install "totem-plugin" to get the browser plugin.
In my previous post I mentioned that I tried that with no luck.
]]>this response is based entirely off of assumptions, as i have no actual knowledge of any of this:
as far as i understand it, firefox is built on the gecko engine, and chromium is built off the webkit engine. so while a gecko plugin will work for firefox, you would get limited or no functionality in a webkit-based browser like chromium, midori, etc. i THINK you need gstreamer plugins for your stuff to work.
again, i don't know any of this for sure, but try running
pacman -Qs gstreamer
and see if you have any packages installed for it.
I just tried installing the totem-plugin package and disabling the gecko media player plugins in about:plugins but that had the same results as before (I got audio, but no controls or video)
