Chromium, by default doesn't support playing those file formats. You will have to add support for those codecs when compiling Chromium. Chromium uses Ninja build system, you should pass the below arguments or use this command 

gn args out/YourBuildFolder

to open args.gn file in a text editor and paste and save it:

ffmpeg_branding = "Chrome"

proprietary_codecs = true

before compiling Chromium. Now compile your Chromium fork:

ninja -C out/YourBuildFolder chrome
