We cannot get HTML5 video to work on Windows. Multiple users have tried
it and none seem to be able to succeed. I cannot find a reference to
anybody on the Internet getting this to work, and a bug entry
(https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39464) which has not been
updated seems to confirm the theory that QtWebKit doesn't currently
support HTML 5 video on Windows.
We need to make some decisions about what kind of video we will be using
in production and need to simply know yay or nay if it works. If not
then we need to use Flash video instead, which is fine but it's
something we will be stuck with.
Environment:
Qt 4.6.2, 4.7.0b1, 4.7.0b2.
Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7; 32 and 64 bit versions.
Repro steps:
Make sure Ogg DirectShow plugin is installed (http://xiph.org/dshow/).
Make sure the h.264 plugin is installed
(http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm).
Run the browser.exe app from Qt 4.7.0b2.
Navigate to http://chaos.troll.no/~tavestbo/webkit/mediaelement/
<http://chaos.troll.no/%7Etavestbo/webkit/mediaelement/> (HTML5 video
fails everwhere we have tried, not just this page).
Try to play video (either ogg or h.264). It doesn't work:

The video file appears to start loading but doesn't play.
Drag video .ogg file to the browser window in order to play it
directly. It does work: http://i.imgur.com/eLjzJ.png
This problem happens with video transferred over either http:// or for
file://.
Thanks.
