Thread: [gst-devel] GStreamer video on XULRunner?

This question is a somewhat beyond the scope of GStreamer itself, but I'm
hoping that there may be people here who can help me. I would like create a
video element in XUL that uses a GStreamer backend (or in other words I want
to connect a GStreamer pipeline to a XUL widget). Are there any projects,
tutorials or otherwise helpful things that will help me become clear on how
to approach this?

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

You could look at the upstream mozilla work to use gstreamer in the
<video> element.
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422540

In Songbird, I directly embed GStreamer video into a XUL window (using
high-performance native sinks, unlike the mozilla effort above). You
could look at that code too.

Thanks! I just succeeded in injecting a native HWND into a XUL document
based on the code in sbGStreamerMediacore::SetVideoWindow(..). I still need
to figure out how to get the positioning right and so, but it's a great step
forward!
