HTML5 audio and video tag support via phonon is missing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Go to this site: http://moztw.org/demo/audioplayer/

It should play audio, but instead shows the fallback text. Doesn't Qt 4.5 
(running 4.5.2) have 
support for the audio and video tags via phonon? Running master (commit 
2a4e1c565f032a92e0d82c7f9d0453346577e50c -- May 13, 23:40) on openSUSE Linux.

 Mostly curious in anticipation of the libre.fm project.

I've done some of my own experiments with Arora and <audio>, mostly in my own 
<audio>
powered project, by chance I found out what's happening.

I don't get audio in w32.
I do get audio in Linux (Ubuntu), but...
In Linux, given a choice of either ogg or m4a (choice offered by use of the 
<source>
tag, Arora chose the m4a, which I found odd.
I think I've tested in OSX and received no audio either. Don't quote me on that.

just updated to 0.7.1 in Ubuntu. <audio> is now non-working. I receive a 
"stalled" response trying to load 
any <audio> elem

moztw's audioplayer works fine here (Arora-git built on Mandriva 2009.1 against 
Qt 4.5.2)

Same here, audio is working (Arora git against 4.5.2; but not the slider)

Still don't see video support at all here

I still get no audio with the build of Arora coming through the Ubuntu repos.

I got audio coming through on my Vanilla Kubuntu Karmic AMD64 with the repo 
version of Arora (0.8). The 
only thing is that it seems to play about 2 seconds... then pause for 10 
seconds... then play 2 more and 
so on. Occasionally the sound driver will then crash, too. Video tag is kind of 
similar playing a couple of 
seconds, then pausing...

No problems (everything works here properly - albumart, controls, audio, no 
pauses) with Arora 0.8.0 
(from backports) on Kubuntu 9.04, QT 4.5.1, KDE 4.3 RC3 on x86_64.

Phonon-xine doesn't support video playback. Should work with 
Phonon-gstreamer...At
least works here (controls are broken though, but that's a QtWebkit issue).

*Phonon-xine doesn't support video playback through video tag yet.

Too bad phonon-xine has to be the default for me because phonon-gstreamer 
doesn't
support selectable audio and subtitle streams yet. (I watch a lot of anime and
foreign films)

I confirm that it wirks with qt 4.6.0 beta1
Not all the controls look as they should, but audio works!

Couldn't look at the firefox demo videos, though:

ok, looks like the Qt version in Ubuntu Karmic is 4.5.x. When that gets 
updated, I will 
try Arora again.

If someone can list the package I need to install, I'll do that, but I couldn't 
easily 
see it in synaptic.

Works here just fine:

Arora 10.1

KDE 4.3.4
Kubuntu 9.10

controls, sound, everything looks good.

Opensuse 11.0
arora 0.10.2 git
qt 4.6.2
phonon 4.3.1

audio tag works but video doesn't

Same here:
Gentoo Linux amd64
arora 0.10.2-r1
qt 4.6.2
phonon-4.3.80-r1

audio works fine, video doesn't. Does this have to do with build options? It 
seemed to be 
working for some people.

Issue fixed here

Kubuntu 10.04 x86_64

does anyone know which part of arora/qt-webkit/phonon/underlying codecs is 
responsible 
for theora decoding? As this is still not working here, I assume this has to do 
with build 
options. Before trying random things, I'd like to know at least a vague 
direction.

Looks like gtkwebkit works fine with video whereas qtwebkit doesn't.
