GStreamer Media backend: Pass WGL context ownership back to GdkGL (fix issue 5685)
Hi,
In the GStreamer media backend, we have no good way to find out whether it is able to playback the file that was passed into it as there may not be the necessary plugins that can handle the file format. When the file could not be played, the WGL context would be held by GstGL
's thread, not the GTK/GDK
thread, which means that GdkGLContext
-related calls will crash as the underlying libepoxy function pointers for the (W)GL driver will be rendered invalid.
To remedy this, as we dispose of the GtkGstSink
that we created, tell libepoxy that we are handing back the WGL context to it (i.e. GTK's thread), so that subsequent GdkGLContext
calls can proceed normally.
This should fix issue #5685 (closed).
With blessings, thank you!
