OGV Video Not Displaying – Audio Only Playback in Latest CefSharp (Chromium Embedded) Builds #5104

Description

@menziesrm

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched both open/closed issues, no issue already exists.

CefSharp Version

131.3.50

Operating System

Windows 10

Architecture

x64

.Net Version

4.8

Implementation

WinForms

Reproduction Steps

Set up a CefSharp-based application using the same Chromium version bundled with SEB 3.9.0 (Chromium 120+).

Create or load an HTML page with the following markup:

Run the application and navigate to the test page.

Press play on the video element.

Expected behavior

The embedded OGV video (Theora video + Vorbis audio) should play with both video and audio rendering, consistent with prior CefSharp builds (e.g., Chromium 114 era) and current Chromium browsers with proper codec support.

Actual behavior

Only the audio portion plays — the video remains a black or blank screen.

Regression?

worked fine on previous versions.

Known Workarounds

N/A

Does this problem also occur in the CEF Sample Application

Yes using WPF/OffScreen command line args
