All we did was rebuild the CentOS 6 packages tweaking the SPEC so that it was
configured with:

--enable-gstreamer=0.10

h264 then worked once you'd got the appropriate gstreamer plugins installed.

Thanks for the tip!

I retrieved CentOS 6.7's firefox-38.2.1-1.el6.x86_64 srpm and rebuilt
it with the --enable-gstreamer=0.10 changes in .spec file, rebuilt on
my CentOS 6.5 system, and it works like a charm (htm5test.org and
youtube detect the h264 support etc.).


seems like a candidate for centosplus or extras

Yes I do in seamonkey, the browser I use.
Strangely the box is not checked in firefox although FF and SM are very
similar, but I never use FF on this system so maybe it's just not
configured correctly.




which repo did you get seamonkey for EL6?


These days I grab the Linux/x86_64 tar.bz2 from seamonkey-project.org , 
tar xfvj, and symlink /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ in the resulting subdir.

But I see there's now an ESR version in EPEL.

This makes sense as I remember reading the latest versions of Firefox
supporting gstreamer1 not 0.10. That's probably why gstreamer1-libav works
with Firefox 40.

My understanding, which may be incorrect, was that the firefox in EL6 wasn't
built with gstreamer support, so adding that library isn't sufficient.

"You always need native OS support to be able to play media files with the 
HTML5 media player"
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1068031#answer-743907

I found this because I was looking for a (legal in the US) way to look at h264 
streams from local net video encoders on EL6, without having to resort to 
expensive decoder software which I can't get anytime soon.  Initially I thought 
that I might get Firefox to do it for me with the openh264 plugin, but then I 
found the above link.   I am currently looking at how possible/painful it is to 
get the gstreamer openh264 plugin [1] built on EL6 (to go with the existing 
0.10 gstreamer), such that I can use openh264 [2][3], which if I understand it 
would allow me to have a legal and working viewer (sans sound, which I don't 
need anyway).  It would be nice (from a functional point of view) if Red Hat 
could get us an audio codec for h264 licensed in a similar way.

If anyone has clues on how to build and add  just a portion of gst-plugins-bad 
into the existing EL OS set of gstreamer plugins, please share (even URL 
pointers).

I believe the EL6 build of firefox sets media.gstreamer.enabled to 
'false' (see about:config)


Try setting that to 'true'

Although that appears to stop the libtotem plugins from working ?

I had already looked at the nux repo. They may have that package for C7 but
I can't see it for C6.

I'm thinking h.264 gstreamer support must be provided by another package in
C6.

I have gstreamer-plugins-base & good installed. And I've already tried ugly
and gstreamer-ffmpeg.

I think you'll find that package in the nux repo:

  gstreamer1-libav.x86_64  1.0.6-1.el7.nux  

I don't know if that will do what you're after, and I can't try this
out as my desktop machines are all C7. 

More detail on that repository can be found at:

Sorry, I didn't have that repository set up for C6 and when trying
to do a quick switch I didn't actually manage to switch it from C7
to C6. I agree, I don't see it there for C6, even in their -testing.

Looking at rpmfind it appears to be available from RpmFusion back to
fedora-18. That may not be old enough (forget what the fc "base" is
for C6), but you may be able to find older fc versions with a little
looking.
