IceCat: H.264 support

Hello,

I decided to give icecat a try, however I can't add support of h.264. Youtube html5 test page https://www.youtube.com/html5 shows only VP8 codec. I've noticed that on the recent version bump optional deps for h.264 was removed https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … 1bd2d39079 and gst-plugins-good with gst-libav not changed the situation. Am I missing something?

Re: IceCat: H.264 support

Nope, you're not missing anything. Version 38 still needs gstreamer. As that was disabled in the PKGBUILD, you're without h264. Starting with version 45, ffmpeg is used instead of gstreamer for h264 support. The question is, why was gstreamer disabled in a version that still needs it? It's a question you should ask the PKGBUILD maintainer.
