We do not plan to add any more media codecs.
I agree that supporting pluggable codecs would be better than adding any
more specific codecs. I note that we aren't likely to spend resources on
doing this, either. Perhaps someone in the community would be interested
in working on it.

I don't want Oracle to add any of those formats. I want them to make it so
*anyone* can add a new codec. Then they don't have to worry so much about
which codecs to support. The community can take care of that.
If Oracle is going to officially support another codec the only one worth
putting their effort into at this point is HEVC (H.265)

I wanted to revive this discussion when I saw Java 9 has gotten
upgraded GStreamer in JEP-257.
Also Java 11 has an upgrade to GStreamer 1.14

The formats supported are very few:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html
What does it take to implement support for these Video formats?
It cannot be a license problem because Java 10 already has x264 as the
Only supported video format.
Is there any work scheduled to improve on this in JavaFX?

Some very old issues for this kind of change
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091063
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091656
One new comment on the latter issue suggesting to add new formats like
"Ogg/{Vorbis,Theora}, flac, matroska (MKV), Opus, VP8, 3GPP, GSM"
This would be great to have on JavaFX. I seriously hope they would add
it for Java 10 at least, or a later Java 9 update.

Why is JavaFX not supporting open video container and codec?
From Java 9 VP6 is deprecated.
The only relevant supported coded for JavaFX is H.264/AVC. The only
other
alternative is VP6 which has been deprecated in Java 9.
We cannot use H.264 without paying lisence fee for a commercial
application.
Support for Ogg Theroa/Vorbis should be considered, at least VP8
and/or VP9
in place for the deprecated VP6. The MediaPlayer for Java 10 has not
gotten
any changes either. I reckon it is too late for Java 9 to get new
formats.
