            Bug ID: 233477
           Summary: [GStreamer][WPE] Use WPE_SHELL_MEDIA_DISK_CACHE_PATH
                    env var to customize media disk cache path
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

"/var/tmp" isn't always the best place to store the media download cache generated by GstDownloadBuffer on embedded platforms. Each of those downloads can hold up to a whole movie (Gigabytes) and "/var/tmp" is sometimes a memory based tmpfs.

Some way to control the cache path is needed. Metrological has been successfully using an environment variable for that purpose downstream since 2018. If that implementation is upstreamed, other WPE users can benefit from it.
