Hi, FYI, WebKit-EFL is now building with gstreamer 1.0 by default [1].

This will also be less problematic from a security perspective in the future since it will be harder to get security updates for 0.10.

Re: [webkit-dev] PSA: Migration plan to GStreamer 1.x
Yes, sounds good to me too. I think we should add gstreamer 1.0 to EFL's jhbuild then since Ubuntu 12.04 LTS does not seem to ship it. I can do this soon if everyone is OK with it.

[webkit-dev] PSA: Migration plan to GStreamer 1.x
Hi, This mail is mainly for the GTK, Qt and EFL port maintainers, I decided to post here instead of cross-posting to three mailing lists :) So there's been work to port the MediaPlayer and WebAudio GStreamer backends to the new GStreamer 1.x APIs. At the moment you can choose (well, for the GTK port at least) at build time if you want to use the 0.10 or 1.x APIs. The issue is that GStreamer 0.10 is no longer actively maintained and the GStreamer developers/maintainers entirely focus on GStreamer 1.x. Moreover we currently don't have the manpower to maintain the 2 code paths in the WebKit/GStreamer platform layer. The GTK port buildbots already switched to 1.0 last month and I encourage Qt and EFL to do the same ASAP, at least for their buildbots. I'd like to propose we drop the GStreamer 0.10 support from WebKit once the next stable branch of GStreamer is released, it will be 1.2, scheduled somewhere around February. Opinions welcome :) Philippe ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
