Bug Description

The new build which enables oxideqt-codecs and oxideqt-codecs-extra has an impact on the youtube dekstop webapp to play certain videos.

Previously, ie without any of the codec packages, youtube was able to play certain videos. Now instead we receive an 'undefined' message from youtube.

If installing the oxideqt-codecs-extra package, the video plays again.

Per Chris, oxide is stating that it is using all the codecs when using the oxideqt-codecs package rather than just the subset. Chromium is written in a matter that hardcodes this list such that all of oxide needs to be built twice rather than just ffmpeg. This can be solved in packaging.

The webapps team said this need to be fixed before 14.04 release.
