No playback in Chrome on Ubuntu

[jskarpe]

Accessing: http://www.videojs.com/

Version 28.0.1500.71 Ubuntu 12.04 (28.0.1500.71-0ubuntu1.12.04.1)

Works fine using Chrome in Windows 7 (28.0.1500.95 m)

Chrome reads the mp4 in both Windows 7 and Ubuntu - but mp4 is not supported in Chrome for Ubuntu

Could you open the javascript console and run document.createElement('video').canPlayType('video/mp4');?

If it says maybe/probably then Chrome thinks it can play MP4s, and it may be a codec issue. If it's not a codec issue then Chrome is just lying to us.

document.createElement('video').canPlayType('video/mp4');
"maybe"

Can you get any mp4 to play in chrome + Ubuntu?

Is it Chromium? You might check out this issue:

Chromium bug #88384.
The browser claims to play MP4 videos, put he can't.
Install the ubuntu package "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra"
