VIDEO - soundcodec AC3 (MKV)

Im trying to get a HTML page set up where a video is playing.

My video is an .mkv file. It works fine on Chrome, but I dont have any sound. Audio codec is AC3.

My code:

<p><video src="video.mkv" type='video/x-matroska; codecs="a_ac3, avc"' autoplay controls onerror="failed(event)" ></video></p>

Solution

  • AC3 is not supported by Chrome due to licensing issues.

    No support for ac3 and dts - Current status: WontFix

    Media player silently ignores AC3 audio (pun intended).

    The first link talks about third party plugins like this one that can play it, though.
