Description
Observed Behavior
CasparCG logs this:

If I enable remote debugging, I see that CEF has instantiated.
However nothing is loaded except:
<html><head></head><body></body></html>If I run in the console:
window.location.href
> 'about:blank'Expected behaviour
CEF loads the page.
Steps to reproduce
- Run CasparCG
- Send the ACMP command
PLAY 1-10 [HTML] "http://example.org" CUT 1 Linear RIGHT\r\n
Environment
- Commit: 21e753e
- Server version: Latest master
- Operating system: Debian 13 Trixie GNU/Linux 6.12.43+deb13-amd64
- Bug happens both when built using system CEF from PPA and when built with
-DUSE_SYSTEM_CEF=OFF
NOTE: This includes yesterday's addition that CEF page errors are now correctly logged (which is very nice!) But the error existed before that change.
