[Bug 1441055] [NEW] Webkitplayer (and video background) doesn't work on Windows and Mac

 

Public bug reported:

Seen in 2.1.3:
Due to changes in QtWebkit the webkitplayer (and thus video backgrounds) doesn't support media-playback on Windows and Mac in Qt 4.8.x. On Linux it still works.

The problem is described here: http://blog.enthought.com/open-source
/fun-with-qtwebkit-html5-video

A Qt-bugreport is still unresolved:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-22883

A few possible solutions:
Build and include qt-mobility (or the needed QtMultimedia module) in the OpenLP bundle (described in the blog post above).
Include and use a flashbased player.
Ignore and wait for OpenLP 2.4 which will use Qt5 where the issue does not exists.
