Hi everyone,
We have an application using Qt-4.8.4 (via PySide) that uses QtWebkit and attempts to display a video via the HTML5 <video> tag. This works correctly on Linux and Mac OS X. Unfortunately, it does not work on Windows. There are numerous reports available online that suggest that many others have run into the same issue. For example here is one:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22883
We have built Qt with QtMobility (with directshow QtMultimedia plugin for media) as suggested there and even though video’s play occasionally, the application is very unstable and reloading the webpage for example crashes the application. It is also not entirely reproducible in that on some Windows machines nothing plays at all and on those that it does play, the application is very unstable. WMV files do seem to play, but aren’t seekable.
The Qt 5.0 official builds also do not solve this issue. Other reports online indicate that this does not work with 5.0.
We would really appreciate any information on when this will be fixed. Has anyone else gotten this to work reliably? We would really appreciate any information on what is needed or more details on what is needed to fix it. We are willing to help with the fix where we can.
Thank you.
Regards,
Pankaj
