Without sounding too defeated, I think it might be a good idea for us to not use the patch in comment #5 any time soon. The reason is that while the patch is correct, it triggers bigger issues in clutter-gst. And that starts to make me think I'm going too deep down this rabbit hole.
It probably doesn't make sense to fix gstreamer/clutter stuff if it's too time consuming, when we already know gstreamer lacks a variety of working demuxers, and is already so unpopular that it's not part of the long term plan anyway (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo). The only real problem is that 'totem' is still our default video player. And if clutter-gst is a mandatory requirement for that then I either need to not give up yet, or we should consider changing default video players in future (ideally to something that's more purely FFmpeg instead of GStreamer). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698287 Title: VA-API fails to initialize in a Gnome Shell Wayland session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libva/+bug/1698287/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
