[Bug 737339] gifdec: new element

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #17 from Mathieu Duponchelle <mduponchelle1 at gmail.com> ---
I added a meson build definition to be able to test the plugin in my
environment, but it turns out that the proposed plugin is not going to be very
helpful to me as is, here are a few comments regarding the actual behaviour:

* The example pipeline doesn't work for me, as width and height also need to be
specified in the input caps.

* Is there no way to determine width, height and framerate from the file
headers ? (I'm not familiar with that format)

* There should be a typefind function in order to make the plugin usable with
uridecodebin / playbin

* The plugin should implement seeking, and ideally segment seeks in order to be
able to loop the gif.

* With my test file, (I'll attach it), there are black frames at the beginning
of the file
