Patch

I try to support HTML5's video in WebKit-EFL. I investigated if EFL supports video / audio. But, I am not sure if EFL supports multimedia framework. Is the emotion library still alive ? If EFL can support video framework, IMO, we need to support HTML5's video using the framework.

In this bug, I make a patch to support HTML5's video using gstreamer. I think WebKit-EFL can use gstreamer. If there are multimedia framework in EFL or WebKit EFL can't use gstreamer, please let me know.

Thanks,
Gyuyoung Kim

Cmake guys, how does this look?

I'd are rather defer approval for the other CMake heroes. ProFusion?

ps: Kim, please you can add more than one person to the CC list all at once, separated bug "," :-)

Gyuyoung,

I don't know if the current state of emotion is good enough to try to enable video support using it. So I would also stay with gstreamer. But for using gstreamer, you should also set the ENABLE_GLIB_SUPPORT.

You can do something similar to what is done when enabling the soup backend. Just check the cmake/OptionsEfl.cmake, in the "IF (NETWORK_BACKEND STREQUAL "soup") section.

Other than that, your patch just didn't compile here on my machine. Does it work fine for you, really enabling video support?

Leandro, do you have any other comments regarding the additions to the cmake building system?

Nope, patch seems fine. Gyuyoung, just send another that forces ENABLE_GLIB_SUPPORT like Rafael said and you'll get my informal r+.

Patch

Hello Rafael,

I modify this patch according to your point. I add ENABLE_GLIB_SUPPORT condition for ENABLE_VIDEO as below,

383 +IF (ENABLE_VIDEO)
384 +  SET(ENABLE_GLIB_SUPPORT 1)
385 +  MESSAGE("Forcing Glib support")
386 +ENDIF()  
387 +

I tested this patch in http://www.html5demos.com/video. Video is played on EWebLauncher.
However, video should be tested further. So, I cannot enable video as default yet.

Unfortunately, recently, gtk guy added a patch for fullscreen video. The patch influences on this patch. So,I need to solve the problem first. I make a bug for the issue. (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44508). I think this bug can be reviewed after finishing the new bug.

Thanks,
Gyuyoung Kim

Ok, the patch seems nice now (besides two trailing whitespaces after this "endif":

+IF (ENABLE_VIDEO)
+  SET(ENABLE_GLIB_SUPPORT 1)
+  MESSAGE("Forcing Glib support")
+ENDIF()  

I'm waiting for bug 44508 get fixed to then try your patch again.

Ok, as I told before, the patch is nice, and I just tried it. And it works!

Did you have any problems with the controls (progress bar and play/pause buttons)?

Anyway, if this still needs any fix, I think it can come in a later patch. The current patch is good for landing IMHO.

I think so. Play / Pause button is working well in the "http://www.html5demos.com/video site. However, I need to check if html5 video should be tested further.
I'd like to enable "ENABLE_VIDEO" as default after verifing this further.

For the time being, I also want to land this patch fot testing html5 video. :)

Hello kenneth and Tonikitoo,

Seems fine with me, but shouldn't it be called GStreamer? and not Gstreamer?

It seems "GStreamer" is right. Should I change "Gstreamer" with "GStreamer" in this patch ?

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

yes, please
