Re: [Totem] Browser plugin gstreamer

["Milosz Derezynski" <internalerror gmail com>]

I just wanted to add once again that i see a huge benefit in having a generic browser plugin.

Having Gtk+ code inside GST or even the plugin being part of GST is certainly not the right way,
but having a reusable video component based on Gtk+ and GST Is IMO the right way.

For one of my apps, i copied big parts of the Totem video code in order to have a well working
video widget.

Certainly also it is somehow possible to have a generic video component which Totem can also
reuse, even if with much work.

If it could be agreed upon having this, i would be willing to stop current projects of mine and work
towards separating the video component code.

Thoughts?

I still have to read through the thread...
My intention is that I'm sometimes working on whaawmp, a gst & pygtk
using media player (although development is slow,
because we  a short of time atm).
If I want a browser plugin, my only choise is to install a second
media player. This makes the first mediaplayer pointless.
So I just thought, making the plugin more generic would be a good
idea, even if it is, defining an api, that media players can provide
to extend it with compatibility stuff, playlists, whatever, something
that can be usefull to all mediaplayers that will be written (using
gst).
Something like that.
