Hulu (new experience) never loads, likely because of location #31

When I try to log in to hulu with qtwebflix, it hangs forever on "Just a moment while we gather what's new...", immediately after telling me that it needs access to my location. I expect that the reason for this is that qtwebflix doesn't have location services built in? I'm not sure how much of a hassle it would be to add, but I'm afraid that hulu, at least the version with live tv, isn't currently usable

It should not be too difficult, I will take a look this weekend.

Well it was supposed to be easy, https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-webenginewidgets-maps-example.html. Unfortunately it is not working on my machine.

I also tested with a popular qtwebegine browser called Falkon https://www.falkon.org/

Can you try installing falkon and check this site https://html5demos.com/geo/.

If it works for you I can easily implement it in qtwebflix.

no dice. falkon hangs indefinitely on finding my location; while i was waiting i opened it in chromium and had no trouble. must be something missing in qtwebengine, or something else on approx that level. based on this reddit thread it looks like i might be able to get it to work if i set up geoclue, but i also might not, and considering that streaming works in chrome proper i think i'm going to let this one rest for now and focus on waiting for audio drivers, lol

thanks for your help!

Damn, looks like it could be an upstream issue, sorry.

No worries!
