Bug#785862: libqt5webkit5 cannot play h.264 video in Sid

Ah, it is my thinking that gstreamer0.10 is fast on it's way out. The bug in debian with gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is old and if fixed, would just be a temporary fix before 0.10 goes away.

from a related bug in gstreamer0.10 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720796):

I plan to get rid of all of gstreamer 0.10 in the next months, so let's just let this one go now already :)

So, I could poke them about a problem with a package that will be removed soon anyways, or poke you about a more long term solution.  Is my understanding correct here?

Any idea on when gstreamer will change to 1.0 for this project?

Thanks

For what I understand it's not a QtWebkit problem but a gstreamer one. Am I
right in this?

If this is the case then it's not a bug in QtWebkit.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
