Hi
For the project Im working on I need to enable mp3 support in cef, which is used inside my application
As I know mp3 is patent is expired and no license fees needed for using it
I managed to assemble cef with enabled proprietary codecs, but this option also activates lots of codecs like aac, which still have active licensing patents
What I found lookingh throug cef code is what proprietary codecs are enabled using BUILDFLAG(USE_PROPRIETARY_CODECS) macros
So far I found that if comment out lines like AddContainerWithCodecs("audio/aac", implicit_codec, true); inside chromium\src\media\base\mime_util_internal.cc, the check on https://html5test.com/ shows they are not supported.
But when I commented out mp3 from supported types and run WebGl app, Im working on, it still played sound.
So my guess is that it plays mp3 from stream, and still founds codec, so changes in mime_util_internal.cc does not have impact.
Is there any checklist what I have to do to enable mp3 support only?
Would be happy to have any comments on that
Best regards
Yuri
