--- Comment #33 from Kalev Lember <[email protected]> 2010-08-09 11:22:31 --- I think our goal should be to support WebM out of the box (read: without having to install extra packages from rpmfusion). Google appears to be interested in switching from flash videos to WebM and is pushing for the support in web browsers. My guess is that they'll soon have all videos converted to WebM so in theory minitube should be able to play all content without needing flash. Unfortunately, looks like our default Phonon backend (xine) needs ffmpeg for WebM demuxing and vpx decoding. Gstreamer, however, supports WebM demuxing out of the box and can decode vpx through libvpx without having to rely on ffmpeg. Kevin Kofler: For a short while phonon-backend-gstreamer was the default in rawhide, but it never made it into any releases. What were the problems with it? Are there possibly any plans on trying to make gstreamer the default backend again? In any case, looks like minitube is currently unable to play any content without ffmpeg, which means it'll have to go into rpmfusion. However, if upstream fixes minitube to work with just with gstreamer-plugins-bad-free, I think it should be good to go into Fedora proper. I'd be willing to re-review it in Fedora in that case. Is anybody here going to do the official rpmfusion review? If not, I can do that. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
