Hello,
I’ve got a Qt application using Qt WebKit to display a webpage which has an HTML5 video tag inside. My problem is playing the video (I use GStreamer).
I’ve been struggling with this for a few weeks now and I have a few general questions about it.
1. In order for Qt WebKit to be able to play the video I need GStreamer support. I tried to use binaries from the website http://download.qt-project.org/development_releases/qt/5.2/5.2.0-rc1/ but no matter the platform (Linux, Mac, Windows) the video player did not work. It was not able to play anything.
Therefore I tried using the latest stable git sources of Qt 5.2 and compiled it myself with GStreamer support. It worked on Linux and Mac (still struggling with Windows).
My question: Are binaries from the “Qt downloads website” compiled with GStreamer support? Am I able to play HTML5 video after building my Qt application with those ready made binaries? It seems I have to compile Qt on my own if I want to have HTML5 video functionality available.
2. When running “configure” command in “qt5” git folder there used to be GStreamer support information
"GStreamer support ............................ yes/no"
I cannot find it anymore. Was it removed?
I was able to compile Qt5.2 on OSX 10.9 with GStreamer support without even knowing whether “configure” found it.This information would be very helpful.
All the best,
Tom
