Question

I have created one QtWebkit based app , and trying to load below mention URL, which if we open in Firefox , it will show as a HTML5 video.

In my application I am getting youtube html5 player getting loaded, but it is not displaying any video content.

I tried even in the browser sample application which comes along with the Qt SDK installtion. I am getting the same result as my app is.

below mention is the code which I wrote

QWebView *view = new QWebView();
QWebSettings::globalSettings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
view->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
view->load(QUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True"));
view->setGeometry(50,50, 800, 600);
view->show();

QT5.2 ( http://qt-project.org/downloads ) now supports <video> tag (html5).

if using QT-32bit, the system must have installed video codecs for 32bit.

I know this is old, but, do you know if qtwebkit 2.1 supports video in ts format? – Paulo Gustavo Jul 07 '16 at 16:20
@PauloGustavo I believe that it does not support this format. Note: but the qtwebkit been discontinued and removed in new versions (unfortunately). – Protomen Jul 07 '16 at 16:23
