PROFILE

John Lin

Worked on the mozilla/gecko-dev repository to enhance the media subsystem, focusing on AV1 video decoding and HLS playback security. Developed a hardware decoding guard for AV1, ensuring only main profile streams use hardware acceleration while others reliably fall back to software. Improved HLS content principal handling to enforce stricter access controls and resolved issues with null and disjoint principals. Expanded test coverage for high and professional AV1 profiles, adding fixtures and HTML-based tests. Introduced an 8-bit output path for AV1 decoding, enabling GPU compatibility on devices with limited bit-depth support. Utilized C++, FFmpeg, and libyuv throughout development.
