            Bug ID: 172852
           Summary: [GTK][WPE] Fix the condition to decide whether the
                    MediaPlayer can be rendered accelerated
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The current condition will return false if the video doesn't have a renderer. This is an error because the video may be hidden, but that doesn't mean that the rendering cannot be accelerated.

For example, when gstreamer-gl is enabled, if we are copying the video frames to webgl and the video element is hidden we will perform the copies using the sw path, because the check about whether the media player can be accelerated will return false. Also, during the loading of the page, if the condition gets checked before the video renderer is created, it will return false as well.
