Hello, Yesterday I realized that there is a new plugin for firefox the openh264 plugin. I tried to compile it and with a few tricks I managed to compile it and to create the plugin. I tried the installation instructions for Fedora https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264 but the plugin does not work. I am using Firefox ESR 38.2.1 Is it possible that the Firefox build has disabled support for openh264?
H264 in firefox is not as free as you suppose it to be: <http://andreasgal.com/2014/10/14/openh264-now-in-firefox/> So you can't simply compile that, and I presume that the Cisco binary is platform dependent, and they certainly won't compile an OI/Solaris binary for you. And, even if they would, currently it isn't used for videos, but only for WebRTC in firefox, so still no high resolution in youtube and elsewhere. Since flash does not work with the new firefox 38.x (Sun binary), firefox on OI will be crippled for the foreseeable future. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
