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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1051559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
