This is what I propose for moving forward with the "Remove QuickTime from the
viewer" work:
(TLDR; Replace QuickTime plugin with one based on LibVLC and use it to play
MPEG-4 and MP3 media URLS plus anything else we get for free. Additionally,
turn on flags in Chromium->CEF->CEF-bin->LLCEFLib->media_plugin_cef builds that
enable embedded media support.)
* Remove QuickTime entirely from the viewer.
* Replace it with a new plugin:
*
* Version for Windows (32 bit) using LibVLC
* Version for OS X (32 bit) using LibVLC
* Ask for help from open source developer community to create a
version for Linux using LibVLC
* Update mime_types.xml (etc) to point old QuickTime handled media at new
version (plus any others we think should not go to the default, CEF plugin)
* Ask for help from the open source developer community to flip Linux
GStreamer output since we flipped the prim media texture coordinates
*
* I hope this is possible - reason it was done is that both CEF
and LibVLC need to be flipped so it seems foolish to flip everything twice.
* Inhibit the "This file needs to be downloaded" message in CEF for media
types we are unable to handle - replace with Alert?
Then as a separate task maybe since it's more of a feature vs. a replace
QuickTime issue:
* Assuming legal gives us the go ahead to turn on the CEF embedded media
support, go ahead and update the Windows/OS X 32 bit CEF media plugins
accordingly.
Then, once this is finished and we resume the 64 bit conversion work:
* Create 64 bit versions of the LibVLC plugin for Windows and OS X
* Create 64 bit versions of the media-enabled CEF plugin for Windows and
OS X
Unless
anyone has any significant objections, I'll go ahead and clean up the existing
LibVLC plugin, get it working on OS X and make a version of the CEF plugin with
embedded media.
I have no ability to do anything for the Linux side of things so would
appreciate help from someone with a contributor agreement.
Cheers!
Sounds good to me.
I wonder if doing vlc on darwin32 is worthwhile though. Quicktime for Mac is
deprecated, but doesn’t exhibit the security holes Windows does. Once 64-bit is
building, Quicktime has got to go as there is no 64-bit support anyway. Guess
it depends on how soon darwin64 could be out the door.
