Bug 187850 – [MediaCapabilities] Platform integration

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Media

[Philippe Normand]

The current implementation of MediaCapabilities::decodingInfo() and MediaCapabilities::encodingInfo() are incomplete.
I wonder if the platform probing should be done by extending MediaPlayer with new static functions, would that be acceptable or should I implement a new platform abstraction for this?

[Jer Noble]

@Philippe, we've introduced new platform abstractions, even for MediaPlayer-like capabilities, for Modern EME. I think it would be acceptable to introduce a new abstraction rather than re-use MediaPlayer.

[Philippe Normand]

Ok Jer, that totally makes sense indeed. I'll work on a patch in that direction.

[Philippe Normand]

This is my current WIP patch which has a decodingInfo() platform integration and a mock test. Before going further I'd like to gather some initial feedback on the approach taken.

Nit: I wonder if it would be better to pass a lambda to createDecodingConfiguration in case a platform isn't able to get the platform capabilities synchronously?

Shouldn't this be "if (!ok)"?

Nit: I think it would be better to store the numerator and denominator in case a platform can use a rational number. You can always keep the frameRate() method and do the division there.

This will leave GStreamer and AVFoundation disabled.

Why is this necessary?

Thanks for the early feedback Eric. I'll update the patch, add audio support to the decoding config, add a mock implementation for the encoding side, add a few more tests and fix EWS

Good point! The GStreamer implementation shouldn't need this but I can change the code already if the AVF backend will require it.

Oh, indeed :)

Makes sense!

Right, but the code below should be removed, as you hinted already.

>> Source/WebCore/testing/Internals.cpp:3447
>> +#endif

Ah no, it isn't, because the factory checks the mock case first anyway.

Nit: I think you can use "auto" here.

Ditto.

You should also fail if numerator or denominator is zero.

Nit: you can use "auto" here.

Ditto.

Nit: these two lines can be collapsed.

"auto".

> +    RefPtr<MediaEngineVideoConfiguration> videoConfig = videoConfiguration();

Ditto the above.

> Source/WebCore/platform/mock/MediaEngineEncodingConfigurationMock.cpp:81
> +    RefPtr<MediaEngineAudioConfiguration> audioConfig = audioConfiguration();

"auto".

Ah, sorry I didn't notice your review. This patch was a win EWS build fix attempt. Will update the patch again taking into account your review :) Thanks!

No idea what's wrong now with the win EWS... Welp :)

Not likely your fault: "Unable to build without patch"
