[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#751625: chromium: version 36 doesn't play H.264 videos anymore

[Rogério Brito]

Package: chromium
Version: 36.0.1985.36-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Upgrading to version 36 to see if some problems with version 35 would be
solved, I noticed that H.264 videos don't play anymore with chromium.

I don't know if this is related to the API keys thing or not (probably
not?), but reverting back to version 35 makes the videos playable again.

Given that you have shaved a lot of internal libraries in preference of
system libraries, I would really, really like to continue using version 36,
if only for the reason of disk footprint.


Thanks for your work,

Rogério.
