August 2025 (WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEWebKit) focused on stabilizing the media pipeline by fixing a GStreamer MSE SourceBuffer seek handling bug. Introduced an m_seeking flag in SourceBufferPrivateGStreamer to prevent pushing samples during seek flush, ensuring correct data is not produced during seeks. This resolves WebKit bug 295415 and improves playback reliability for embedded web experiences.

July 2025—WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEWebKit: stability-focused update improving MSE buffer management for embedded playback. Implemented an unconditional update of the maximum MSE buffer size after the first initialization segment, ensuring MSE_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE is applied even when the init segment contains no video track. This fixes edge-case playback issues and aligns with WebKit bug 296059, reducing user-visible playback failures on embedded devices. Commit: 2c8a583bd2da1c6eb1c5724be6cccb8ee009cba1.
