            Bug ID: 211950
           Summary: [GStreamer][GTK][WPE] Expose and honor the media
                    content types requiring hardware support setting
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Bug #172787 added a new mediaContentTypesRequiringHardwareSupport setting to disable some multimedia codecs in case there's no accelerating hardware decoding available for them. Bug #191191 layed the ground for discriminating hardware supported codecs, but no GstRegistryScanner::areAllCodecsSupported() or GstRegistryScanner::isCodecSupported() call was actually passing the hardware support flag set to true (it was optional and set to false by default).

Using only hardware supported video codecs is critical on embedded devices and undesired on desktop devices, so a proper implementation honoring the mediaContentTypesRequiringHardwareSupport setting both for MSE and the regular player in WebKitGTK/WPE is needed.
