If I play a video on Facebook this error "The manifest specifies content that cannot be displayed on this browser/platform." is always showing.

Chromium builds don't contain proprietary codecs like H264 and AAC, so they can't play most content from Facebook. We can't include these in Chromium builds since they have to be licensed and we only have such licenses for the official Google Chrome.

Hi,

By default, Chromium builds do not have proprietary codecs enabled by default. This may most likely be the cause of the error you are seeing. You might want to use a build of Chromium with proprietary codecs enabled or use an official Chrome build.
