Works fine (at least for my normal behaviors using the web) running the latest snapshot.

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Does this mean it's only using ffmpeg?

I'm not sure what you mean by "only using ffmpeg" but this is basically just to unbreak the derivation after gstreamer was marked as broken.

I'm not intimate with the inner workings of how gstreamer ties with the browser, but all my daily activities with the browser still work fine.

Ah, gstreamer being marked as broken fell off my radar.

@eadwu can you check if the test video at https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/ plays on that version?
