As we use Spotify CEF builds on Linux, they don't build with proprietary codecs. This is likely not something we will fix, unless there's a valid reason for us to build our own CEF on Linux (for example, if hardware acceleration becomes available).

Then it only remains to wait for someone to fix it. It would be a detail to have exactly the functionality of this wonderful piece of software than in Windows... But the fact that this entry closed is not a good sign.

Hardware acceleration in Linux is on, but it sure means something else.

I don't know how they fixed it, but Facebook Live and every other platform I've tried now works just like it does on Windows.
I'm glad that what was said didn't come true: "This is likely not something we will fix."

Thank you very much
