Replying to [comment:14 FireballDWF]:
> gstreamer dependency has been removed from Firefox 46 according to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234092 and may have been
removed as early as Firefox 44 according to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947287
Thanks. So perhaps it's not worth putting time+energy into changing which
version of GStreamer we build against: long term, we'll get the
functionality we need via MSE instead.
But it would be nice to have a short-term workaround. It was suggested on
the Tails bug tracker to set these prefs:
media.mediasource.enabled true
media.fragmented-mp4.exposed true
media.fragmented-mp4.ffmpeg true
media.fragmented-mp4.gmp true
... and I confirm this fixes MPEG-4 video support for me. Do Tor Browser
developers think it's safe to apply these changes in Tails? (and ideally
in TBB)
If preferred I can create a dedicated ticket about this short-term
workaround topic, so that we can close (as rejected, I guess) this one.
Or, we can repurpose this one.
