Can QtWebEngine support proprietary codecs as in Chrome?

I know that Qt is an open-source project but is there any way to have QtWebEngine (which I believe is based on Chromium) be "built" or configured to include the proprietary codecs that are supported in Chrome?

We can look after the licensing & royalty requirements - we just need to build a browser component which supports them using Qt.

Thanks,

Sammy

Hi,

It's explained in the QtWebEngine features documentation.

Thanks for the pointer.

Unfortunately I'm having a little problem trying to get either "configure" or "qmake" to work with VS2017 but I'll keep working on it and post back if I am not able to solve this new issue.
