Hi All,
Goal- My goal is to run chrome using gstreamer.
I am able to build chrome.
Now I want to use gstreamer in-stead of FFMPEG.
Is there any flag available to do so?
If NO how can I do this? At least from where I should start modifying?
Thanks
Braja

There isn't any flag available as Chrome has no built-in gstreamer support.
We decided to go with FFmpeg over gstreamer since FFmpeg fits inside Chrome's security sandbox model and is easier to port to other platforms.
If you're interested in doing this as a side project or proof of concept, I'd start with implementing your own WebMediaPlayer [1] and returning your implementation in RenderView::createMediaPlayer() [2].

If you do this on Linux, be sure to verify your test build of Chrome
is still sandboxed by visiting about:sandbox. I suspect it might be
much harder to hook in gstreamer with sandboxing than it would be
without.

Thaks Andrew & Evan.
As its just a side project for proof of concept. I don't need
sandboxing.

Hi Andrew,
How about the rendering part.
Do I need to write separate GraphicsContext for the same ya the
existing GraphicsContextSkia will be fine?
Thanks

Existing GraphicsContextSkia should be enough to get some pixels on the screen!
