[webkit-qt] QTWebkit capabilities

[Madhu Kumar]

Hi,



Again thanks for the useful link. I went through that link and it is really useful to understand the plugin basics.
But
I am still not able to get what is missing in your sample code to
capture the flash content in  web page. While going through the net I
also came across a utility called CutyCapt which does almost the same
thing. It has option --plugins which on setting to 'on' enables plugin.
I went through the code and saw that upon setting this option,
QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled is set to true. However, the result or
output of that utility is also same, flash contents are not captured
properly (I used the same below link as a test case).



I tried the demo browser that we get with Qt SDK and opened the below
link, the demo browser shows the flash content properly. I checked the
code and it also sets the same attribute (QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled)
to true. If I disable that line in the demo browser code, then the
flash contents are not displayed. So this is the attribute which is
controlling the flash content display.



In the sample code also, I tried setting that same attribute to true
but was not able to capture the flash content properly. Would you
please help me here in capturing the flash content properly.



Also another thing I noticed is, the sample on each run seems to
capture the same frame, I mean if there is any ticker or gif animation
in the HTML page (which keeps changing), the output captured image
should vary but it is not. Do we need to do anything else to capture
the page at a given instant?



Please do the needful.



Thanks in advance.

That's likely because the plugin is windowed. Before going further, I
highly recommend reading and understanding first how NPAPI plugin
works. Resource like
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Plug-in_Basics
could be really helpful.
