Description Benn Snyder 2012-11-26 22:26:35 UTC 
If media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg is not installed, HTML5 video doesn't work in www-client/firefox.  The audio and controls work, but the video pane is blank.  Please modify the Firefox ebuild to depend on media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg or media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta[ffmpeg].

Reproducible: Always

Maybe it ought to simply RDEPEND on media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta. This is what www-client/opera{,-next} do.

Is in overlay, will move to tree soon as we complete testing of other changes.
