Support for other codecs? #124
Description
Is it possible in Electron/Chromium to play video files in other codecs? I'm thinking, for example, Apple ProRes Quicktime files.
Obviously, they're not supported by the <video> element, and VLC can no longer be used as a plugin in Chromium due to the retirement of the NPAPI interface.
The Playback webpage mentions "currently has support for playing MP4/WebM..." At what point do you expect to add wider codec support and, more importantly, HOW? I'd be very happy to help with this effort, but I have no idea where to begin.
NB Using ffmpeg to transcode e.g. ProRes to MP4 in order to play it would be a bit of a mad solution, in my opinion. More processor power to produce a lower quality image!
