WebM+Chromium+Lucid

#1 Post by Lobster »

This is a still of the new HD video format (the video seems higher res than the still) running in a nightly build of Chromium on Puppy Lucid

WebM

You must be running Lucid

You will need - latest Chromium (for Ubuntu)
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snap ... rel-linux/

Here is a pet of 5 libraries that you will need - (thanks playdayz)

Join the html5 beta testing program
http://www.youtube.com/html5

Search for a video by keyword. For example, trailers.
In the browser’s address bar, add &webm=1 to the end of the URL.
For example,
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... aq=f&webm=1
Press Enter.
In the list of videos that appears, click any of the links.
The video will play in your browser and display HTML5 webm in the toolbar of the video player

You can bring the video res up
and size, not full screen but bigger with buttons bottom right

I can confirm it does work nicely. 8)

Will be good when they get fullscreen working.

Did you notice that flash worked better too? I think tronkel remarked that they have a built in flash player now.

Yep nice. 8)

I agree with Barrys analysis that WebM will become the new video standard.
I hope that Jemimah gets this running in Puppeee.

For me this vindicates Woof and Lucid (and offers the potential for Dpup and Spup)

We can use cutting edge software up to date releases for Ubuntu
and run them Puppy style.

Steam powered Puppys are also still available. :P
