Chromium does not play video - chromium

I am trying to play video on the Chromium browser but it is not working. Just for an example, when I went to this URL https://edition.cnn.com/videos/business/2018/10/03/5g-explained-orig.cnn-business , the video on the page did not play.
Operation System: Windows 10
Chromium Version: Version 79.0.3945.0(Developer Build) (64-bit)
Do you know any solution for that?

Appstream not connecting on android device's Chrome browser

I have created a project that uses Amazon Appstream SDK for .net. I am able to access the streaming application on Windows desktop chrome browser. However, when I try same on Android mobile (latest chrome version) the appstream does not connect to the app.
It displays the following error:
The version of chrome/browser is same (the latest one) both on desktop and android mobile.
Please guide.
Try "request desktop site" in the sidebar.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support zooming however.

Render camera preview in Chrome using Native Client SDK

I'm trying to write ppapi plugin for Chrome which will use webcam (show preview and write file). I have installed NaCl sdk with pepper_35.
There available examples in /examples/api/ folder: media_stream_audio and media_stream_video.
The audio example works fine - requests access to microphone and shows some kind of preview.
The "media_stream_video" example must show web-camera video preview, but when I load example on the local web server (with make serve command), there appears red rect, and Chrome asks for the web camera access. When I click “allow” - webcam indicator lights-up, chrome show that web page uses the web camera, and I see the camera settings icon. But the preview doesn't work, there still red rectangle instead.
I checked this on Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Mac OS X, with five different webcams, and have no idea what can be wrong.
Maybe someone already encountered with the same problem?
Installing the pepper_37(dev) version of NaCl SDK solved the problem. Looks like it is unstable version currently, but it works.

Android build: Fennec with chromium rendering Engine

I built the chromium for android following these instructions https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions .
I got the content shell only not the full browser.
Then, I built the Firefox for Android. I successfully got the Full web browser. But the performance of the chrome content shell was much much better than that of Firefox Android build. Now, I want to try building the Firefox Android using chromium rendering Engine, Blink replacing the Gecko rendering Engine. How much is the difficulty level and how can I start.
Thanks,
Chromium uses Blink (earlier Webkit) as its rendering, and V8 for Javascript interpretation along with various 3rd party dependencies. Even though Content shell is a small browser (sans complex UI of Chromium) it is functional and a wrapper over Blink. Having said that fitting Blink with Firefox (instead of Gecko) will be a new project by itself, probably you can try building Webview, so that you can build a simple browser itself in android. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
Chromium - Open Source project
Chrome- Google's proprietary software + Chromium
In Android only Google Chrome can be installed as APK, wherease Chromium can be built as content shell or used through WebView

Qt5.1 SDK
QT5.2 ( http://qt-project.org/downloads ) now supports <video> tag (html5).
if using QT-32bit, the system must have installed video codecs for 32bit.

Where to download the latest Safari?

Does anyone know where on apple.com I can get the latest Safari? IE, Chrome, and Firefox all have "latest" version but I can not find a similar for Safari.
I would have guessed here, but no go.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
You can't simply download Safari for OS X. You can get Safari updates that run on your installed OS X through the normal Apple Software Update or through the APP Store (I guess since 10.8).
Safari 6 is available for Mountain Lion and Lion only.
The latest version for PC is Safari 5.1.7. There's no version 6 available for PC. You can download it here: Safari 5.1.7 for Windows.
Safari for Windows is no longer developed. Since all links in existing answers are dead, or do not provide expected information.
I would like to provide a working link here -> SafariSetup
