It is a great week for all the people that are enjoying the wonders of Chromium. Especially now with the newer version of ffmpeg (0.6), which is available on packman, chromium is finally able to play the new webM format.
No additional configuration is required. Just update/install the ffmpeg package from packman together with the chromium package from Contrib and you can watch webM video’s.
hm… i can’t find ffmpeg 0.6 in packman repository…
Hi.
I have checked again the packman repository and it is there for Factory, 11.2 and 11.1 repo’s. Maybe you should check a different mirror for packman. I know that one of them was running behind with version since quite some time now.
Good one would be http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/
