I am using latest version of Shaka Player (V2) with Wowza streaming server using mpeg Dash.
When playing the video in Chrome browser everything works fine, but When hosting the same player web page in Cefsharp component (c# web ctrl that wraps Chromium) I am getting error 4001.
When I used an older version of Shaka Player (v1) I got a different error: "The manifest specifies content that cannot be displayed on this browser/platform".
The player pass shaka.player.Player.isBrowserSupported() test in all cases.
Can you supply more details about the error and what can I do to overcome it ?

First, 4001 is DASH_INVALID_XML.  This means there is a problem with the XML in the manifest.  My guess is that build of Chromium is stricter about XML than Chrome is.  I would check that the XML is valid (including XML namespaces).  You can run it through the DASH validator (http://www.dashif.org/conformance.html) to check for basic problems.

The v1 error seems to suggest the content is not playable.  This may be that the XML errors are ignored and the error is because there is nothing to play.  Or it is possible the content isn't playable.  Chromium builds usually don't support MP4, so make sure the content has WebM in it.  Also, even though Chrome supports Widevine, most Chromium builds don't, so you are limited to clear-key for protected content.

You can go to https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/support.html to see what your browser actually supports.
