[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1051559]
(In reply to Chris Pearce (:cpearce) from comment #47) I'd rather keep our existing backends/libraries for decoding Ogg and WebM unless there's a compelling reason to switch to using GStreamer for those formats. I am not too familiar with the current backends but there is a good chance that gstreamer would be more performant and reliable. I know that gstreamer has support for accelerated video playback on many GPU drivers. I'm not saying that gstreamer should be the default but it would be nice to have it as an option. -- 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 Chris Pearce (:cpearce) from comment #49) You can already set the pref media.prefer-gstreamer to true if you want to play WebM and Ogg with GStreamer in Firefox. Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were considering getting rid of this.

Something else to note is that this is using gstreamer 0.10 which is now out of date. This is preventing some distros from enabling it by default (see arch bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33009). It would probably be wise to upgrade to using the gstreamer 1.0 release. -- 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.
