Description Philippe Normand 2018-01-09 02:33:09 PST 
Since gst-gl seems to be enabled by default now, maybe it makes sense to start thinking about removing the legacy code. Any thoughts?

We can't, we would need to bump the gst requirements I'm afraid.

That's fair. Let's keep this bug open meanwhile then.

For the record, GstGL will be shipped as part of gst-plugins-base 1.14.

Not really related to this bug but we could already bump to 1.4.4 (debian oldstable) or wait until mid-june and bump to 1.8.0 (ubuntu)

We now depend on 1.8.x, FTR.

Sadly the old sink is used when AC is disabled, AKA Epiphony mode
Comment 7 Carlos Garcia Campos 2019-03-19 00:50:35 PDT 
Not only that, we have a build option to disable OpenGL. We still want video support when OpenGFL is disabled.
Comment 8 Philippe Normand 2021-07-30 04:43:01 PDT 
This is still useful, for instance in cases where HW decoding is not possible and Mesa llvmpipe is not desired. Closing.
