Community meeting on IRC 29th Oct 2020

  • Name / IRC nick: ahappyhuman
  • Topic: QtMultimedia/gstreamer unable to play back from most HTTPS sources
  • Some details about the topic: while gstreamer seems to be pretty up to date, it uses a outdated libsoup and gnutls for doing network requests, as I’ve found out and written in this post. This seems to be the reason why virtually any playback from a https source fails. Are there any plans to solve this issue by updating libsoup and/or libgnutls or switching to e.g. curlhttpsrc (even though it’s a “bad” plugin)?
  • approx time needed: 5 - 10 minutes
  • optional: If I can’t be there feel free to discuss without me
