Nope !... Media URLs pointing to *.mp3/4g *.avi *.wav *.you_name_it_media_type
*still* use the QuickTime (for Mac and Windows) or gstreamer (for Linux)
plugin...
There is confusion in many people mind's about media streams embedded
inside a web page (which indeed are played via CEF now, provided the
web page is using HTML5 or a proper CEF plugin exists for the embedded
media stream) and raw media file URLs: the latter are*not* played via
CEF. Just look at the code in llviewermedia.cpp...
You're correct for all released viewers, Henri, but we are in the
process of building and testing to see what works with no quicktime
plugin at all.
