[netsurf-dev] Video playback support

Hello,

I am interested in NetSurf development.
I saw there was preliminary support for video content, and have written
some code to make it work with newer versions of GStreamer,
although I do wonder whether GStreamer really fits as a NetSurf dependancy.
I'd like to further improve video playback support in NetSurf, but would
like to know whether there is already someone working on it and if I
could contribute.
There are some issues beyond pure playback: video playback creates a
need for some streaming option in the content fetchers, as it is not
possible (especially for memory-constrained devices) to load the
whole video in advance. If such an option would be considered,
I would also be willing to implement it.

Thanks,
