wpesrc

The wpesrc element is used to produce a video texture representing a web page rendered off-screen by WPE.

Starting from WPEBackend-FDO 1.6.x, software rendering support is available. This features allows wpesrc to be used on machines without GPU, and/or for testing purpose. To enable it, set the LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true environment variable and make sure video/x-raw, format=BGRA caps are negotiated by the wpesrc element.

Example launch lines

 gst-launch-1.0 -v wpesrc location="https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org" ! queue ! glimagesink

Shows the GStreamer website homepage

 LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true gst-launch-1.0 -v wpesrc num-buffers=50 location="https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org" ! videoconvert ! pngenc ! multifilesink location=/tmp/snapshot-%05d.png

Saves the first 50 video frames generated for the GStreamer website as PNG files in /tmp.

 gst-play-1.0 --videosink gtkglsink wpe://https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org

Shows the GStreamer website homepage as played with GstPlayer in a GTK+ window.
