Hello all,
Does anyone here know how luakit (webkit browser) accesses video codecs?
I'm just trying it out and I've been really enjoying it but anything
HTML5 (mp4, ogg, webm) in video form does not load.
luakit uses gstreamer as a backend and I've used the gstreamer flag
during compilation. I installed media-libs/gst-plugins-meta after
installation. I'm out of ideas at this point aside from recompiling
luakit which would take a couple of hours.

I've solved this problem. In case anyone ever runs into anything similar
both qutebrowser and luakit require specific gstreamer plugins for each
html5 video type. The media-libs/gst-plugins-meta package was not
sufficient as it only contained a collection of audio plugins.
Best,
James
