Reaching the Multimedia Web from Embedded Platforms with WPEWebKit

Описание: Nowadays the Web is one of the primary ways for multimedia content consumption and real-time communication (through WebRTC). During this talk Philippe Normand presents the WPEWebKit web-engine that has been deployed on a wide range of embedded platforms and how you can add it to your own Linux-based embedded device. WPEWebKit is the official WebKit upstream port for embedded platforms.

For multimedia playback and real-time communication it heavily relies on the
GStreamer multimedia framework. Philippe will give an overview of the W3C
specifications supported by WPEWebKit. WPEWebKit products have been deployed invarious embedded environments and hardware platforms. Philippe will focus on i.MX platforms, outlining the steps required to enable WPEWebKit in Yocto-based BSPs. WPEWebKit can also be used in server-side innovative ways, such as dynamic HTML/JS/CSS powered video overlaying. Philippe will present this use-case, detailing how live video streams can be augmented with overlays. GstWPE is a GStreamer plugin embedding a WPEWebKit WebView, allowing to inject
a live audio/video representation of any Web page into a GStreamer pipeline.
Both GPU-based hardware-accelerated and software rasterisers runtimes are
supported.
