chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra did it. Thanks! Weird that no corresponding package seems to exist for Firefox.

Weird. That's the exact same version string in mine and I get nothing. Did you install some kind of MP3 plugin/codec to get it to work?

by graue 14y ago
No sound in Chromium on Linux (Ubuntu). Unfortunately, that often happens when I click on these experiments, due to lack of MP3 support. There is MP3.js to get around the patent issues, if Linux support is important to you: https://github.

I'm suspicious of bikes that sell for under $200 new , but you can get a great used bike in the $150-200 price range, which is what I've generally done. Add about $100 more for lock, lights, fenders, rack, and basket and you're good to g

Now that's a confusing explanation! Most Python programmers I've met have pronounced it "duh-jango", and I thought this article was going to defend that pronunciation. But it actually says that pronunciation is wrong, and the D is, from an

Worth noting they also got Opus standardized through the IETF[1] and, furthermore, it's mandatory to implement in the WebRTC spec[2]. So Opus is not only technically superior to other audio codecs, it's also better situated politically than

Wow, I'm slow. I assumed the red and green was a new feature that showed whether a story had recently risen (green) or fallen (red) on the front page — so you could better keep track of trends. I didn't notice they were consistently alterna

Are you familiar with Facebook's FTC settlement over privacy settings? The order requires Facebook to obtain its users’ “affirmative express consent” before it can override their own privacy settings. For example, if a user designated cert

As with <table> markup, wouldn't that prevent content from reflowing? I might be missing something, but normally when I do this, I want the number of elements per row to vary depending on what fits, whether that's 10 elements on a l

Would it be much more code to support Twitter's OAuth as well? That'd appease me... everything on my Twitter is public and they have a much better record with regard to user data than Facebook. Plus your demo is a Twitter clone, so you'd ge

Looks really cool. Unfortunately the play buttons do nothing. I'm assuming this is because the files are mp3, and I'm on Ubuntu, which doesn't support mp3s in <audio> tags in either Firefox or Chromium :( But maybe you could use MP3

Really? What else have you missed out on that you'd otherwise want to use? Plenty of sites have a prominent Facebook sign-in button they steer you towards, but will reluctantly give you a username/password, if you insist. Songkick, for inst

FYI for anyone else running Ghostery: you have to disable it to get the site to load at all. Seems to get stuck in a permanent "loading" loop if it doesn't detect the FB social plugin script. Developers: if you care about privacy-conscious

I was using it this spring (2012) because I had a netbook running Ubuntu 9.04 (9.10 had failed to work properly). But after Google Docs began refusing to let me edit, I finally gave in and upgraded the netbook to 12.04, which has an up-to-d

I'm surprised no one pointed out that the answer given in the video is wrong. The second line should be "10 0 8 1" and the third "8 9 0". The author writes "10 0 9 1" and "9". Perhaps it's not relevant to the experiment, but it seems worthy

Maybe not in the short run. We'll see. But if Apple decides not to implement an open standard for business reasons, that doesn't make said standard not open.

As a neat historical note, OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD partly over this: NetBSD's releases were BSD licensed, but were developed in secret. OpenBSD adopted a public anonymous CVS server so anyone could watch development as it was going o

Tent handles photos as "attachments" and doesn't push them out automatically. What it pushes out is a photo post containing the URL from which the actual photo can be retrieved. So your server's bandwidth only gets consumed when someone act

I'm not going for emotional reaction at all. Compared to a dictatorship, a democracy is more complex, harder to bring about, and yet has real benefits for the public, which, to some, justifies the effort. And all of that is also true of ope
