Unable to draw an image on windowless plugin when video is played - html5-video

I am trying to display Video(played by HTML5 video tag) behind a windowless plugin(firebreath). Video was perfectly blended with plugin display (semi-transparent image is drawn) when GPU-acceleration was enabled (using Chrome flags) .
However, Plugin display went for a toss when video is played at present( with chrome flags enabled). Suspecting chromium updates causing this issue.
Similar Question # HTML display of Plugin and videotag
Any suggestions/work around for me to try out? Please help.

Jitsi meet video call on Android stays on black screen

Implementing video calls using react-native-jitsi-meet on iOS works perfectly fine but on android when loading the screen to start the meeting, it stays on the black screen. I am using react-native 0.69.2 and react-native-jitsi-meet 2.3.1.
I did all installation as described in the documentation and also tried to use jitsi-meet-sdk to customize native code but still, I could get the black screen on android.
I also tried to downgrade the react-native version but it couldn't help.
I was expecting to join the video call but rendering the JitsiMeetView with its full functionality like turning on a video call, muting audio, seeing participants, inviting and so many more features that jitsi-meet-sdk provides as I could see it on iOS.

Orientation problem for remote tracks on firefox

I have a problem with Agora video SDK 4.4.0 on Firefox.
When a user on IOS SDK 3.4.0 rotates his iPhone/iPad, video is not rotated on Firefox (macOS). But it is ok on safari (macOS) / chrome (macOS), or other IOS device with IOS SDK.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Or, at least, can I detect remote orientation changes (via event, or width / height change, or mediaTrack property, or anything...) to make the rotation myself using some CSS magic ?
This is a known limitation of firefox, documented here.
You can manually set the orientation on iOS. This page covers in depth how different modes work. You can use the fixed orientation to manually handle rotation using CSS.

Active X VLC Plugin Issues

Im using a very basic ActiveX VLC Plugin. I installed VLC and then added VLC into VB.NET by going into COM Components.
So I use it to load livestreams and it works "fine".
But not great. The reason im saying this is because I load a .m3u8 file and whenever it lags/buffers/freezes/pauses e.t.c it will play again fine as I have it to "AutoLoop = true" but when it then fixes itself and continues playing it wont go Fullscreen by double clicking the Video Window and if I went into Fullscreen before it froze I would be Stuck in fullscreen and would need to ALT+F4 or ALT+TAB out and close the App.
Is there any way past this and has anyone ever encountered this issue either?
If anyone needs to try this to see what I mean or has a hard time understanding what I mean just let me know.
I can confirm this is an error with VLC 2.2.2
It seems this is a UI issue when playback ends. The forum seems to already have a ticket open about this for 3+ months which is ridiculous that its still not fixed.
If you compile using the .dll's from VLC 2.2.2 but have VLC 2.2.1 installed on your PC then this issue is gone.

Render camera preview in Chrome using Native Client SDK

I'm trying to write ppapi plugin for Chrome which will use webcam (show preview and write file). I have installed NaCl sdk with pepper_35.
There available examples in /examples/api/ folder: media_stream_audio and media_stream_video.
The audio example works fine - requests access to microphone and shows some kind of preview.
The "media_stream_video" example must show web-camera video preview, but when I load example on the local web server (with make serve command), there appears red rect, and Chrome asks for the web camera access. When I click “allow” - webcam indicator lights-up, chrome show that web page uses the web camera, and I see the camera settings icon. But the preview doesn't work, there still red rectangle instead.
I checked this on Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Mac OS X, with five different webcams, and have no idea what can be wrong.
Maybe someone already encountered with the same problem?
Installing the pepper_37(dev) version of NaCl SDK solved the problem. Looks like it is unstable version currently, but it works.

Launch Webkit Nightly in fullscreen mode

I am using Webkit Nightly because i'm working on some new HTML5 features. I would like to look at the application full screen, without the window chrome.
Other browsers have F11 and other buttons to go fullscreen, but webkit doesn't. Is there a way I can launch it in fullscreen mode?

Webkit is a web content engine and its not a browser on its own. Anyway, which port of webkit are you referring to? GTK+? QT? EFL?
I just downloaded and compiled WebKit-r70098 (for GTK+) on my Ubuntu box following this instructions. The demo browser (GtkLauncher) that comes with it creates a window of 800x600 (hardcoded in the code) and doesn't have a fullscreen feature.
Also, the pre-compiled binaries for Mac OS X that allows Safari to run on top of Webkit, don't offer native fullscreen capabilities. Currently there's no fullscreen without tweaking Safari configuration files or using 3rd party plugins (there are lots of them).
EDIT:
On Windows, webkit.exe also doesn't have fullscreen capabilities.
