I've noticed that ebuilds of chromium at and later than 6.0.472.33 no longer use the system-provided ffmpeg, and seem to lose support for h264 videos (test any non-webm, html5 video at youtube; it will never load).
I've tried doctoring the ebuild to use the system-provided ffmpeg, which does not fix h264 video and causes crashes on webm videos: probably why we went back to the bundled ffmpeg. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a straightforward work-around beyond going back to 6.0.472.14ish? Thanks, -Andy
