[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1051559]
(In reply to Ralph Giles (:rillian) from comment #87) - Open a new bug specifically for it, rather than arguing either way in this bug. - Provide a factual argument why this is important. - Provide a patch implementing the new feature. Starting a thread on mozilla.dev.media would be good too, outlining why you think it's useful and important. For example, this thread was started to discuss VP9: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.media/iurA0-DJFoE/ObucKnJ3_ZQJ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “iceweasel” package in Debian: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Building Firefox with GStreamer support would provide support for a lot of websites that use h264.

(In reply to Alessandro Decina from comment #46) In addition to that, we could potentially consider importing the ogg/webm/h264 gst plugins in m-c so there's even more control over those. If this means we'd be shipping an H.264 decoder, we can't do that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “iceweasel” package in Debian: New Status in “firefox” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Building Firefox with GStreamer support would provide support for a lot of websites that use h264.

(In reply to Markus Popp from comment #33) Any chance to make testing for early adapters easier? Maybe compile with --enable-gstreamer by default, but hide behind a pref? Are there any test builds, maybe on try-builds? The problem is library compatibility amongst different GStreamer versions and distros. If we turn it on then Firefox won't run on linux distro's that don't have GStreamer or have an incompatible version. We need to look at runtime loading of the shared libraries or some other approach. See the thread Use cases for official generic “Linux” builds vs. ABI-unstable system libraries in mozilla.dev.planning that occurred around the end of September. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Building Firefox with GStreamer support would provide support for a lot of websites that use h264.
