Adding support for h.264 and mp3 to Iron

Post by dinkydau »

Many guides exist teaching you how to add support for h.264 and mp3 to chromium but they don't work. Maybe they used to work or they just don't work for Iron, anyway, this is what I did to magically make it ACTUALLY work.

Find an older version of google chrome that contains ffmpegsumo.dll. This particular file contains the extra codecs that need to be in Iron, making it larger than the version in Iron by default, about 900 versus 1600 kB. Copy ffmpegsumo.dll from google chrome and overwrite Iron's ffmpegsumo.dll with it. Do the same for the file called libEGL.dll. Iron is then equipped with extra codecs but it doesn't "realize" it yet, or something like that. Someone here made a browser extension to fix that:

Save the scripts and manifest file from this archived page and install them in Iron as an unpacked extension. The page linked to also contains instructions on how to install the extension.
Restart the browser, done.
