QWebEngine - Netflix support
-
I'm trying to run Netflix streaming inside a QWebEngineView.
So far it seems to almost work, better than with my previous attempt with QWebView
Here is the message I get:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t16k2co1zg0k24q/netflix.png?dl=0Is there any way to set the "user agent" inside a QWebEngineView. with the QWebView, you could set it on the QWebPage in order to change the default user agent returned. I would like to try and test with another user agent to see if Netflix could work.
I see this is possible with QWebEngineProfile, but where is this class exactly? is it in 5.4.1?
Thanks! -
Hi,
I would have said userAgentForUrl of QWebEnginePage, but it looks like its not yet implemented

@SGaist
Thanks, I'll wait for it.
With QWebView you had to subclass QWebPage and implement userAgentForUrl(QString url) and I returned something different for netflix website, so it thinks I'm using chrome. Hacky but works ;)
I really like QWebEngineView so far, automatic cookie management is a nice feature.
plus flash seems to work out of the box -
Found an anser here :
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/172364/netflix-works-on-chrome-but-not-chromium
For Chromium to work with Netflix you have to have this plugins inside Chromium : Widevine Content Decryption Module
This plugin is installed by default in Chrome but not Chromium due to licensing reason (Widevine is not open-source).
Trying to find a way to install it inside Chromium
