Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2011-04-25 07:45:55 UTC 
gst-plugins-vp8 is required to play HTML5 video (at least on Youtube) with webkit-using browsers.

gst-plugins-vp8 doesn't have enough keywords (only amd64 and x86) currently.  It will need to either be keyworded or use-masked (I'm going to use the webm USE flag) before it can be included.
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-06-26 17:15:19 UTC 
What name should we use for that USE flag? You suggest "webm", but "vpx" is also widely used in the tree (and both are local USE flags...)

webm: xulrunner, firefox, icecat 
vpx: ffmpeg, libav, mplayer
Comment 5 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-26 20:44:30 UTC 
vpx is for libvpx, google's vp8 implementation

webm is the container format.

So I would call this use flag vpx, because it enables the gst-plugins-vp8, which is just a wrapper around libvpx, not gst-plugins-good (?) which contains the webm muxer and demuxer.
