Bug#851170: libqt5webengine5: h.264 video does not seem to work
Package: libqt5webengine5
Version: 5.7.1+dfsg-4
Severity: normal
Hello, please be gentle as this is my first bug report :)
I'm excited that Qt WebEngine is being packaged, so I could use it with
qutebrowser.
It seems to work beautifully, except that H.264 video is not working.
I've talked to the developer of qutebrowser and he said that qtwebengine
might not be configured to use proprietary codecs (see:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-features.html#audio-and-video-codecs )
I know that multimedia codecs can be very hairy things in general, but
I'm hoping that since H.264 is enabled in chromium, that the same can be
done for Qt WebEngine.
