Building Firefox with WebM support
All the patches to get Firefox built with WebM support have now been attached to their relevant bugs. These patches aren’t ready for review yet but can be used to get a build that has the functionality of the special Firefox WebM builds.
To build use Mozilla Central as the base with the patches from the following bugs applied:
- Bug 566241 - Video playback stops intermittently - This has now landed in mozilla-central.
- Bug 566498 - Move generic video duration computing into Ogg decoder - This has now landed in mozilla-central.
- Bug 566501 - Fix seeks needed only by Ogg backend - This has now landed in mozilla-central.
- Bug 567056 - Rename some variables - This has now landed in mozilla-central.
- Bug 566246 - nestegg, the webm container parser we use
- Bug 566247 - libvpx, The VP8 SDK and associated build changes
- Bug 566245 - nsWebMDecoder implementation
Hopefully these will be finished, reviewed and landed in short order.
