As far as I know, WebKit supports video tag. In case of Linux it uses GStreamer to display video content.
You can check if your browser supports it with

[/quote]I checked through QWebView and there isn't support in audio/video (But there is on Google Chrome which uses WebKit too). And what is it using on Windows? Maybe I need install something?

Please wait till new version of QtWebKit module will be released, although these versions should handle HTML5 video/audio, there are some issues (I don't remember which...)...In order to really have included HTML5 video/audio try Qt 4.8.2 or Qt 5.0 Beta libraries.

[quote author="Peppy" date="1346409683"]Neither Qt 5.0 beta does not handle HTML5 video/audio? That's really strange. Hmm... may it be caused by not working multimedia plugin? (I think, this makes problems)....[/quote]
I think this trouble only on Windows (and maybe on Mac). One guy on irc channel answered me that "<tronical> Twice: sorry, it's not implemented on Windows :("
So I don't know what to do with my program which must view local html5-files.. So maybe I need to migrate from qt..P.S: what multimedia plugin?

bq. "<Twice> hi, do you know why it's not implemented on Windows?
<tronical> it's a rather complicated piece that's simply not been written yet
<tronical> sadly there is no backend in webkit that can easily be re-used
<Twice> are you Qt developer or you know you just know it?
<tronical> I'm a Qt developer
<Twice> so I can't use Qt for building cross-platform html5-viewer?
<tronical> indeed, I'm afraid you can't use Qt very well for that right now
<Twice> and will it be in Qt 5.0 final release or you dont know?
<tronical> I'm pretty sure it won't be in the final Qt 5.0.0 release" -
In addition, with Qt 5 you will have possibility to use WebKit2 with has different API and different process management than already know WebKit1 with is in Qt 4.X
That really make things more complicated ,especially when you get used to old API that pretty well expose all WebKit elements to Qt world.
