Google Chrome on Windows comes with support for the above media formats, however, Chromium does not.
I want to add support for my own personal use, how can I do this?
I know that on Ubuntu this is solvable by installing the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree
packages, however I didn't find anything for Windows.
I'm making this comment so that next time I come here I can hopefully notice the k-lite comment (instead of the solved answer below)... – isaaclw – 2016-11-20T19:57:25.867
You have to copy avcodec*.dll files from Chrome installation to Chromium. http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2010/06/24/play-embedded-mp3-audio-files-chromium/ -- I wonder if k-lite codec pack installation would fix this..

You assume correctly, I don't have a windows pc at the moment :) – Savvas Radevic – 2013-10-07T18:18:26.067
@medigeek - Fair enough. The source seems legit - but fair enough :) – nerdwaller – 2013-10-07T18:22:08.560
4@medigeek - Looks like Chrome no longer uses those av*.dll files, since I'm not seeing them in the folder. Replacing
ffmpegsumo.dll
(the Chrome version is bigger) also doesn't make a difference. – Jay – 2013-10-07T18:33:43.830
