> So code in gst plugins calling gst_element_make_from_uri("http") will indeed get a webkitwebsrc element :) We intend to fix that in bug 108088 . Andre, perhaps you can try the patch from that bug? It's not ready to land yet but it should help you.

As discussed on IRC, the proposed solution for bug 108088 would break the use case for DASH/MSS and others where a gst plugin creates new source elements internally to download data.

I pushed an updated patch for bug 115352 that attempts to solve the issues I raised on comment #29 by using 2 code branches, one using a CachedResourceLoader when the player is available, and another one using a ResourceHandle when there is no player involved.
