Flash and qt4 browsers?

[Pete]

Hi All

Anyone have Flash and/or html5 working in any of the qt4 webkit browsers?

Qupzilla has a setting "Allow netscape plugins" but seems to ignore the Flash plugin completely when copies of npflos2.dll and npswf32.dll are placed in \Programs\qupzilla\plugins

Attempting to play videos on youtube results in a blank black screen with the text:-
"The Adobe Flash Player or an HTML5 supported browser is required for video playback."

Looks like the Qupzilla port is not a fully working port... Do any of the other qt4 browser support html5 and Flash?


Regards

Mentore on comp-os-os2-apps just posted he got Flash working by updating his QT, in particular QNetwork.dll was old and the problem for him.
I'm pretty sure Qupzilla doesn't support webm

Hi Dave

The os/2 port does not seem to support html5 but I think qupzilla does generally support html5 - otherwise why have options for html5 in the preferences dialog?

I think I am using the latest qt4 files from qt4-4.7.3.2-1.zip

From reading the post that you referred to I would say that Mentore got qupzilla working rather than got flash working in qupzilla.

Looks like you're right, I should have reviewed the whole thread.
As I said in the thread, plugin support seems to be broken in the QT webkit port and until someone fixes it. I guess you could file a bug at netlabs and get feedback from the developers.
HTML 5 is much more then video and sound, try http://html5test.com/ in Qupzlla and FF10 and 17

Hello all, finally I got back to the forum

It's correct. I had an old QNetwork.dll which stopped every Qt network application from working. Now I can start PSI, Facebook, QupZilla and Dooble apparently without problems. Didn't try flash or HTML5, though.

Hi Dave

You piqued my curiosity so I had a look at http://html5test.com/index.html

Seamonkey 2.7.2-12 - Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:10.0.12) Gecko/20130108 Firefox/10.0.12 SeaMonkey/2.7.2 result:-

   Your browser scores 329 out of 555 points


Qupzilla Application version 1.6.3, WebKit version 533.3 result:-

   YOUR BROWSER SCORES 184 OUT OF 555 POINTS


I guess the Qupzilla result is in Capitals to draw attention to the lack of html5 capability  :-)

I've posted a bug about the Flash plugin not working - and mentioned that html5 support seems lacking  http://trac.netlabs.org/qtapps/ticket/80#ticket

Hi Pete,  I don't know if you have noticed but Qupzilla has problems with nested bookmarks as well which is a killer for me.

SeaMonkey 2.14 scores 367 out of 555. It also thinks I'm using lightning 1.9 under OS/2 so not parsing the user agent very well.
I'd think that Qupzillas bad rating is due to limitations in the old webkit though I don't know.

Firefox 17.05 (Mozilla/5.0 - OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0) scores 377 of 555.  Performs quite well, and has most of the functionality I need (drawbacks: Java not fully functional on all web pages(= Java not recognized), and for some web pages video not working).

I get the same with Firefox 17.0.11 (Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0). Why does Firefox not report the correct version? Security? I notice they still report the same build date as FF4 though about:buildconfig does report 20140307213027 as the build ID.
Interesting that SeaMonkey reports 10 lower then Firefox built from the same tree and same environment.

Thunderbird 17.0.11 with Thunderbrowse only scores 366.
