I created this setup before proceeding.
I've been trying to compile CefSharp with proprietary codecs for use in my C# Forms project for a year, but I'm faced with a pyramid of new errors with each new unsuccessful attempt.
So in short the first time following this guide and this thread but I got stuck at "create.bat" --> automate-git.py step due to error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "automate-git.py", line 722, in <module>
raise Exception('Not a valid git checkout: %s' % (chromium_src_dir))
Exception: Not a valid git checkout: c:\cef\chromium\src
So I solved it using this answer in this thread, and it cost me another error that only appeared 14 hours later at the end of executing the update.bat step "following the guide's order" but the terminal closed automatically and very quickly even though I ran update.bat through cmd (admin) and the error did not appear again when I ran the batch again without restarting the progress. But it basically said "hook not found" which I had removed from update_depot_tools.bat step as the previous thread I mentioned.
Currently I tried to compile from the master branch (currently 6261).
So I tested it on another computer with Windows 10 x64 recreating the same scenario and I had the same errors. So far I haven't found a way or an updated guide to compile CEF. I'm not stuck with CefSharp, alternatives are also welcome as long as they support video codecs.
