This is the only one which I have but you don't, and HTML video plays ok |
| 18 |
for me with Firefox 37.0.2. |

The MSE ones are disabled in all Firefoxen for now. They tried |
| 25 |
enabling support recently, but uncovered so many bugs they had to |
| 26 |
disable it right away. |

HTML5 video encompasses several formats. "HTMLVideoElement" checked |
| 31 |
just means the browser will recognize <video> elements, and the others |
| 32 |
are various formats. |

I hope it works! I just tried looking at which gst-plugins I have |
| 37 |
installed, to figure out which might give H.264 support, but I can't |

make sense of it. |
