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.
Is kwebkitpart installed?
Yes, here's what I have: % pacman -Qi qt Name : qt Version : 4.8.0-2 Packager : Andrea Scarpino <andrea@archlinux.org> Architecture : x86_64 Build Date : Sun 18 Dec 2011 05:11:53 AM GMT % pacman -Qi qtwebkit Name : qtwebkit Version : 2.2.0-3 Packager : Andrea Scarpino <andrea@archlinux.org> Architecture : x86_64 Build Date : Fri 16 Dec 2011 09:01:15 AM GMT % pacman -Qi kwebkitpart Name : kwebkitpart Version : 1.2.0-2 Packager : Andrea Scarpino <andrea@archlinux.org> Architecture : x86_64 Build Date : Sun 18 Dec 2011 09:22:30 AM GMT % pacman -Qi rekonq Name : rekonq Version : 0.8.1-1 Packager : Peter Richard Lewis <plewis@aur.archlinux.org> Architecture : x86_64 Build Date : Tue 13 Dec 2011 09:41:44 AM GMT I also tried it with a rebuild of rekonq but the same happened.
Also, try re-installing it if you had the previous one (the one built with qt 4.8rc1).
So, I don't have this, right?
I can reproduce any video in the website you linked above. (ReKonq + phonon- vlc here)
This made me think that it might be a codec issue, but I have every gstreamer0.10-plugin package installed and phonon backend is set to Gstreamer. And, if I put the URL of a video *file* (not tag) straight into rekonq, it plays perfectly.
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.
I just rebuilt kwebkitpart as you suggested, and that made no difference unfortunately. This is strange - the first frame of the video does display and the buttons sort of work, i.e. the volume button changes colour when I click on it - but the video doesn't play. Pete.
