<![CDATA[QWebKit and Video Cross Platform]]>Hi there,

i was just developing a project with QWebKit, it needs the html 5 video tag.

I was developing on Linux and it worked (although i never actually played a video, but the video player controls show up).

Now compiling first time on Windows (Qt 4.8/QtCreator 2.4.1), there is no support for the video tag... I thought QT was cross platform.

Is there a way to get the video tag on Windows to run?

Anyone tried it on mac yet?

Great, thank you for sharing the solution. Why don't you create a brief article at "Qt Project's wiki":http://qt-project.org/wiki/ based on your blog post?

I tried html5 video tag by creating new html5 application with default html page that I modified by adding video tag. It works on Mac but not on Windows. Anyone? Any workarounds for Windows?

    Your browser does not support the video tag.

I made a quick Google research and it seems that other people are experiencing the same issues with video like you but I haven't seen a solution yet :( :

According to the official announcement I think that the video tag may be working on "web kit version 2.2":http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitFeatures22
