Description Eric Smith 2009-08-09 00:57:35 UTC 
Without the proper gstreamer plugins installed, webkit is unable to play any video.  Since theora/vorbis is supposed to be the "standard" for html5, I propose changing the dependencies to the following which work for me:

gstreamer? (
                >=media-plugins/gst-plugins-soup-0.10
                >=media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.10
                >=media-plugins/gst-plugins-ogg-0.10
                >=media-plugins/gst-plugins-theora-0.10
                >=media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis-0.10 )

Maybe another flag could be added for H.264 support?  I'm not sure if it's being used anywhere though.

thx, assigning to maintainer
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-12 22:42:46 UTC 
no standard has been written into html5. Added a message about gst-plugins-meta though.
Comment 3 John (EBo) David 2010-01-22 06:47:05 UTC 
Out of curiosity, shouldn't the dependencies (ex media-plugins/gst-plugins-ogg) use the USE flags?  use.desc defines ogg, theora, vorbis, and alsa.
