Details

We've developed a GMP plugin for SailfishOS to provide hardware codec support for video decoding in the Gecko-based Sailfish Browser. When it's installed and the media.gmp.decoder.enabled pref is set to true, it's loaded at the lowest priority in the stack. FFmpeg is ranked higher, and will be used instead even though it only provides software decoding.

When the PDMFactory is loading the Android MediaCodec PDM, it passes an additional parameter to CreatePDM that uses a preference to prioritize this PDM and insert it at the front of the list. The same mechanism for GMPs would be very much appreciated.
