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

Show the GStreamer website homepage

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

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

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

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

export GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK="wpesrc:MAX"
gst-play-1.0 --videosink gtkglsink web+https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org

Until 1.20 the web:// URI protocol was supported, along with wpe://.

The supported URI protocols are web+http://, web+https:// and web+file://.
