Hi All,
I am trying to play .mp4 file in QWebView of Qt using HTML5 video support(I can not use any plugin or adobe flash).
I have 3 system. newly installed Windows 7 x64, Mac OS X 10.7 and Windows xp X64.
I get new Qt 5.0 for windows and Mac and installed on all systems. I have also installed full VLC (for codec) on all 3 system. Then i create a Qt program as below.

C++
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QWebView view;
    QWebSettings::globalSettings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
    view.settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
    QUrl url("http://www.html5test.com"); // html5test.com is site to check which features of html5 your browser supports.
    view.load(url);
    view.show();
    return a.exec();
}

What i see is On windows 7 and Mac OS X gives that video and audio tag supported, and also MP4 video format supported on both os. But it shows 0 rating on windows xp x64 for video tag support. I google for this but could not get anything helpful. Why it says that video and audio tag not supported on Windows xp X64?

After that i try to load a website having different videos with
HTML
<video>
tag as below.

C++
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    QWebView view;
    QWebSettings::globalSettings()-&gt;setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
    view.settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
    QUrl url("http://shapeshed.com/examples/HTML5-video-element/");// having video tags
    view.load(url);
    view.show();
    return a.exec();
}



When i run above code, On Mac it run as per required. On windows 7 It shows the video controls (Play button, seek bar ) but it could not play video. And on Windows xp X64 machine no video and video control visible.
Whats Wrong with windows 7 machine if it says that video tag and mp4( and H.264) is supported?
I have other browsers too on all system where all above works nicely.
Is there any system specific settings required? or did I miss any important step(s)?
Thanks all.

I seems that QApplication very depends on QT framework but not your browser.
I am now open page by using QApplication by python language, it work for png,html,text and anyother format, but where I try to load ogg sound, the QApplication and QWebView seems not work.
Also then, on my computer, the same os of course, I used chrome to open that page, it did has sound,and sound loaded js event emitted.

I really suffer on this problem too. I wish I could figure out the solution very soon
