Bug Description

On Yakkety, the updated Chromium 55 package doesn't play back H264 videos anymore.

For example, using this test page: http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html the H264/MP4 video shows the player disabled, while WebM and Ogg/Theora work fine.

I have the following packages installed:

ii chromium-browser 55.0.2883.87-0ubuntu0.16.10.1328 amd64 Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome
ii chromium-browser-l10n 55.0.2883.87-0ubuntu0.16.10.1328 all chromium-browser language packages
ii chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra 55.0.2883.87-0ubuntu0.16.10.1328 amd64 Extra ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
