The gstreamer patch is only "outdated" because Mozilla let it rot in the bugtracker rather than committing it a year ago. Bug 714408 may have a better API but it is entirely unclear if anyone will take on the task of porting it a non-mobile platform in the foreseeable future. And when someone does it will probably face the same political barriers that are stopping the patch from being ready now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412647 Title: Firefox is not able to play mp4 <video> tags To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/412647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
