Can't load dailymotion video

[Vialaxy]

Hello,

I'm trying to watch dailymotion videos (no matter the video), the viewer always display that : https://i.gyazo.com/571ded59de0ca8c3902485312fc8e357.png

I tried everything that came to my mind : disable/enable the cache, gpu acceleration and tested around 20 differents user agents (including 2/3 mobile UA).

And it isn't a plugin issue as dailymotion support html5.

But it always display this result, no matter the cefsharp settings (while it's run well on Chrome & Firefox on my pc)

Do you have an idea how can i load the videos?

Kind regards,
Vialaxy

What version are you using?

And it isn't a plugin issue as dailymotion support html5.

When I open a random video it appears to load the Flash player in both FireFox and Chrome. Are you sure that html5 is the default?

@amaitland : I'm using version 45 from the nugget package (and app use the x86).

From what I've read if there is flash installed it use flash by default and otherwise it use html5.

Just tested on a computer where flash isn't install and it works perfectly.

Anyway thanks for your quick reply :)

For reference if you require Flash in version 45 then see #1505 (comment)

@amaitland I know I could use it but I don't want as for the other site I use I should only have html5 enable (+ it will probably use additional resources and cefsharp itself already consume a lot of ram and the computer that will use the webbrowser can't support additional ram usage).

There isn't any way to use it just with html5? I know it works with Firefox & chrome so I don't see why it couldn't work with cefsharp.

CefSharp only support open source video codecs.

If you open https://www.youtube.com/html5 you can see that h264 is not supported.

I don't know anything about dailymotion, so you'll have to dig deeper to find out what their html5 implementation actually uses, and potentially how they switch between Flash and html5.

See https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/1631/add-support-for-widevine-cdm which may be relevant. If it turns out they use h264 then you'd need to build CEF from source, then repackage it for use with CefSharp.

You would also have to look at obtaining the relevant licenses.

@amaitland Oh thanks for your replies.

I apologize but im a noob when it come to build from source, repackage...

I just downloaded cef_binary_3.2526.1364.gf6bf57b_windows32 from https://cefbuilds.com/ so i presume it's already build. Now how can i repackage it to use it with cefsharp?

Edit: i tested the demo app build from it and it still display the error message of DailyMotion (and yes apparently they use h264)

The precompiled versions don't include h264 support. You have to compile CEF from source.

See #1479 (comment) for more information.
