Flash video-player tvthek.orf.at

[GeorgS]

I need to load the following page http://tvthek.orf.at inside an iframe.
I'm trying to move away from node-webkit, but the video-player on the page doesn't work with the Flash 15 beta NPAPI plugin on atom-shell, but it does on node-webkit.

To reproduce the error, create a window with disabled node-integration and plugins set to true.
Load a page like http://tvthek.orf.at/program/ZIB-Magazin/5521881/ZIB-Magazin/8325486.
There are no errors in the console but the video doesn't play.

I've managed to switch to their html5 player 👍, but they stream their videos in mp4.
Is it possible to enable such proprietary codecs like mp4/mp3 in atom-shell by rebuilding ffmpeg or replacing the ffmpegsumo.so,dll with the chrome so,dll (like in node-webkit)?

The way to support proprietary codecs should be similar to node-webkit, you can create another issue for it.

In a Gtk Webkit webview even flash video plays in the video tag.

Sorry for posting on an old issue. I don't know if this needs a new issue. I just wanted to get this out there. I don't even know if this should be considered a bug, or a feature request.

I've been working with the video tag in electron, and it has not been what I expected. In my opinion if it's a video it should play. ffmpeg itself does support flv videos. I don't even know if there is a codec ffmpeg doesn't support. I'd go so far to say electron video tags should support all codecs that aren't hampered by licenses.

It would be great to do:

<video src="any_video.type"></video>

I'm not affiliated with playback, but wide video support would help that project too. I hate to see great potential wasted because of limited media support.
