Package: epiphany-browser Version: 3.14.1-1 Severity: normal By default, epiphany-browser does not pull in gstreamer1.0-libav. On a normal gnome (or cinnamon) desktop, other packages such as totem, cinnamon-desktop-environment, etc pull in gstreamer1.0-libav via Recommends. However, on an xfce4 desktop, there's nothing pulling in gstreamer1.0-libav.
Epiphany uses gstreamer to play html5 media streams. Going to http://youtube.com/html5 shows me this with epiphany on a jessie system: http://lunge.queued.net/~dilinger/html5.png . However, the H.264 support that is claimed is actually a lie if gstreamer1.0-libav isn't installed. When playing H.264 videos (on youtube and elsewhere), I get sound and previews, but no video. Here's an example: http://lunge.queued.net/~dilinger/cates.png Installing gstreamer1.0-libav and restarting epiphany results in video working properly. So, epiphany-browser should probably have a Recommends or even a hard Depends on gstreamer1.0-libav. There are obviously some larger issues at play here (like why there are no errors when webkit can't play a video, and why it claims that the H264 codec is supported when it actually isn't), but for Debian we can make it work easily enough by including the proper package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
