           Summary: h264parse: expose compatible profiles to downstream
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad

     GNOME version: ---


Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video
decoder was to strictly follow the indicated profile, it wouldn't support that
stream, whereas it could in theory and in practice.

So, we should also report the set of compatible profiles, in view to widening
the range of supported video streams. In particular, but not limited to, we
need to report "extended" to "main" profile wherever applicable, by checking
for constraint_set1_flag for instance; but also report "multiview-high" to
"stereo-high" if max views == 2 for instance, etc.
