Nice project! Works right out of the box on my machine (osx64).
I've spent some hours on getting the proprietary codecs to work with an app created with create-nw-react-app. Some videos wouldn't play because of default Chromium codec support.
Also, to re-enable autoplay on videos with audio, i added these Chromium arguments to package.json:
Would it be an idea to add an option to include the proprietary codecs in development / on build?
At the time of writing, the latest nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt binaries are available only for nwjs v0.30.5, and create-nw-react-app automatically downloads the latest version (v0.31.0) in my case, so just copying the prebuilt ffmpeg binaries into the nwjs.app cached by create-nw-react-app wouldn't work.
The way i eventually got it to work was to download and replace libffmpeg.dylib from nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt to a correspondingnwjs version, to nwjs.app/Contents/Versions/<version>/libffmpeg.dylib.
Then, replace ./cache/0.31.0-sdk/osx64/nwjs.app and ./cache/0.31.0-normal/osx64/nwjs.app with the 'patched' nwjs.app (v0.30.5). This is a bit hacky IMO.
Any thoughts on this? Are you open to pull requests?
