gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly gst-libav gstreamer-vaapi 1.20.0

[Douglas R. Reno]

New point version, primarily for Python-3.10 fixes and security fixes.

Now 1.20.0

[Douglas R. Reno]

Grabbed this because there are several changes in here that could break WebKit. Note that it also includes the ability to build with ffmpeg-5.0.

There are a couple things that may break WebKit:

GstPlay: new high-level playback library, replaces GstPlayer
Audio support for the WebKit Port for Embedded (WPE) web page source element

And one that directly impacts my nouveau issue (should not put in one without the other):

Compositor: multi-threaded video conversion and mixing

    Improved support for custom minimal GStreamer builds
    Support build against FFmpeg 5.0
    Linux Stateless CODEC support gained MPEG-2 and VP9
