Hey Andrea,

Nice work.

But - HTML5 video and audio tags aren't working for me. I tried it in konqueror, rekonq and aurora. The first frame of the video loads, but it won't play. This is with either gstreamer or vlc phonon backends.

I tried youtube in HTML5 mode and also http://tinyvid.tv/. Same result.

html5test.com reports that everything is fine for video except subtitles.

I tried rebuilding a few related packages (phonon, phonon-gstreamer, etc.), but nothing seemed to change the behaviour.

Any ideas? Is kwebkitpart installed? Also, try re-installing it if you had the previous one (the one built with qt 4.8rc1).

I can reproduce any video in the website you linked above. (ReKonq + phonon- vlc here) There's no need to rebuild phonon, I'm using 1.6.0 right now and that is built upon [extra]. Indeed, you can try rebuilding kwebkitpart if html5 video still don't work. -- Andrea
