            Bug ID: 194899
           Summary: [WPE] Add support for holepunch using an external
                    video player
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WPE WebKit
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: magomez at igalia.com

Add a holepunch feature that allows to perform video playback through an external platform-dependent player. Instead of drawing the frames, WebKit draws a transparent rectangle on the position where the video should be. The rendering of the frames is performed by a platform dependent video player that puts the video on a layer below the browser, so it's visible through the transparent rectangle.

As we cannot provide WebKit implementations that bind to every existent platform-dependent player, what we do is to create a dummy player that just draws the transparent rectangle and doesn't do anything else. This new player only accepts the mymeType video/holepunch. This allows the normal GStreamer player to be used together with the holepunch one. When the type video/holepunch is set to a video source, the dummy player is selected and it draws the transparent rectangle.
