Just to follow-up a bit on this thread in general. Wim Taymans was assigned to work on it, but simply has not found time to do so. So what I am pursuing currently is have Centriclular (http://www.centricular.com/) do the work for us, just need to shake enough piggybanks first to make it happen :)
As for AAC audio, yes that is a problem, but a lot of Webm files for instance use H264+Vorbis afaik. But I am looking into what can be done with AAC support too going forward.

Firefox does not use OpenH264 to play any video, it's not implemented on Firefox side because OpenH264 is not usable for that and there's also missing audio codec. Firefox uses ffmpeg for H264 video playback.
And from WebKit side: WebKit only uses GStreamer, so there would have to be a GStreamer plugin for it.
In the fedora-cisco-openh264 repo there's both gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 and mozilla-openh264 packages that are suppose to work with the respective browsers. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org
