Hi Svahl, thanks for your vote. So it's now 4:3 for Xine backend. So what are the required steps now? As we already missed freeze but we can work it out with rel engs. I like idea of shipping both backends as proposed rdieter but set the Xine one as default one. But first we should fix bug with switching backends... Distant future: I'll try to look at GStreamer backend more deeply later as I think it's the future - not only for Fedora but for upstream too and I hope we can get it at least to the the point to be comparable with Xine one. Then we can reconsider this decision. > Sebastian > Jaroslav -- Jaroslav Řezník <jreznik@xxxxxxxxxx> Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno Office: +420 532 294 275 Mobile: +420 731 455 332 Red Hat, Inc. http://cz.redhat.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
