When I navigate to a certain website which should play a video, the website displays this error message:
"Use a different / alternative browser!"

The URL is
http://www.bild.de/video/clip/justin-bieber/faehrt-paparazzo-um-unfall-vor-kirche-52677196.bild.html

Is this something that needs to be fixed by the EO.Browser devs or something that I could fix myself?

EO.Web.dll version 17.1.76.0

Hi,

You will need to enable proprietary video/audio codecs in order to play this video. See here for more details:

https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/webbrowser/advanced/html5.aspx

For example, in order for our TabbedBrowser sample application to be able to play this video, you will need to add the following line in App.xaml.cs before creating MainWindow:

Code: C#
EO.WebEngine.Engine.Default.Options.AllowProprietaryMediaFormats();


Make sure you read and comply with MPEG LA license terms before you add this.

Thanks!

For me, it's

EO.WebBrowser.Runtime.AllowProprietaryMediaFormats()

Works great!

Thanks very much!
