I originally reported this to Epiphany but I was directed here. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1654

The WebM container supports alpha channel video with the VP8 and VP9 codecs, however in Epiphany this doesn't work. Transparent video is shown with a black background instead.

The issue is with the dma-buf sink. Both the GL and software-compositing sinks render with the alpha channel blending correctly (done in https://commits.webkit.org/238313@main). To not use the dma-buf sink, set WEBKIT_GST_DMABUF_SINK_DISABLED=1.

Fix for dma-buf incoming...
