[Gnash-dev] Gstreamer based video-decoder

[Tomas Groth]

Hi all,

I just commited a gstreamer based videodecoder for use with external movies
(youtube etc.). For some reason it only works with wmv-files at the moment,
maybe others as well, but neither avi or flv.

Following this a problem has risen: The way the decoding backend is chosen is
kind of weird: At the moment you need to choose gstreamer as the sound backend,
for the new video backend to work, so maybe we should make a "--media-decoder"
option in configure. Choosing "gst" will mean gstreamer does audio/video
decoding, and choosing "ffmpeg" will mean SDL-soundbackend using ffmpeg +
ffmpeg video decoding. Choosing "mad" will mean SDL-soundbackend using libmad
and no video decoding.
Any thought, comments or ideas?

cheers,

Tomas
