Why can't I play mp4s using Windows Chromium version?

H.264, the video codec used with mp4, is a licensed proprietary codec from MPEG-LA.
AAC, the audio codec used with mp4, is a licensed proprietary codec from ViaCorp.

The ANE is compiled without these proprietary codecs. I cannot publicly distribute the ANE without being liable to pay possible licensing fees.

You may request licenses for your company.

https://www.mpegla.com/programs/avc-h-264/license-agreement/

Once you acquire these licenses, we can discuss further how to obtain a version of the ANE compiled with these codecs.
