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

 

This issue will  have to wait until 2.4 where our upgrade to PyQt5 will
have fixed the problem.

Title:
  Webkitplayer (and video background) doesn't work on Windows and Mac

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
