[gst-devel] gstmediaplay and a project of the week for someone

[Christian Schaller]

I hope you as part of this process also can see if you can implement
something which enables the making of screenshots, even if only after
pressing pause. While seemingly a little issue I think the ability to
make screenshots of gstmediplay and mozstreamer is rather central to the
promotion of the GStreamer project.

This issue is covered in a bug report including some implementation
comments from Erik.
