⚠ Developers: Site Isolation is now turned on! Javascript state now gets destroyed on navigation, like how normal web browsers work. Note: CEF updates happen independently of CEFCodecFix releases. Updated CEF to 114.2.10 (Chromium 1.110) on All Platforms. Just for context, a lot of us in the Garry's Mod Community have begged the Garry's Mod developers to update Awesomium / Chrome 18 to a newer version or replace it because it is so ridiculously outdated, but they don't seem to have any plans to do that for a long time, thus, we are stuck.Īny help / suggestions on this would be very much appreciated, I have done hours / days of research with little findings. Is there any way to force it to play in a different codec (YouTube live streams), or is it locked to that because that is what it is streaming as? Or is there some sort of other player that can accept the MP4 stream and play it in another format real-time? Basically, I want to avoid users having to install NPAPI flash on their computers just to be able to watch MP4 / H.264 content, because as easy as it sounds, it is highly inconvenient for Garry's Mod players. My main question here is, is there any way to natively play MP4 / h.264 streams in a browser that does not support it without having to have clients download Flash? (I know, really dumb question on the surface). This however is very convoluted and causes major frustration for players. (The in-game browser requires NPAPI flash to be installed by the user for Flash to work, since it does not have it baked in). The workaround for this is to have players download NPAPI flash and install it, so the player will fall back to Flashplayer. However, when trying to view MP4 / H.264 content or YouTube live streams, of which most seem to be encoded in MP4, it will simply not play due to it not being supported natively by Chrome 18. All standard YouTube videos play perfectly fine using Webm, and other file formats work as well. I am using JWPlayer as the host player, playing in HTML5. Thus, only Webm and a few other formats are supported by the native HTML5 player. 
The major limitation here is that the HTML framework in-game is Awesomium, or Chrome 18.
The addon has been around for quite some time, known as PlayX, but things are just now majorly switching over to HTML5, which have helped to improve, but also break the player addon. I am working on an addon for a sandbox game, Garry's Mod, that plays YouTube videos and other media content in-game.
