[webkit-qt] Qt Webkit 4.5.3 and Flash

[Rajendra Prasad Murakonda]

I have been trying to run flash videos in QWebPage. With
WebSettings::PluginsEnabled set to true, it works seamlessly in Windows XP.
But I am unable to make it work in RHEL 4 server.

If I try with flash player plugin 10 or 7 in Linux, a small image shows up
instead of Flash in QWebPage. If I try Flash player plugin 9, I get the
following error, and a white page is displayed with some sort of grid on it.


==
process:2710): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2253: initialization
assertion failed, use g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:2710): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkclipboard.c: line 213
(gtk_clipboard_get_for_display): assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
Adobe Flash Player: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying
to call gtk_init(0,0);

I have tried most released versions of flash player 9 plugin for Linux with
the same result. Where as flash works fine in Firefox. So is this some sort
of GTK version mismatch for Webkit and Flash? All this makes Flash unusable
with Webkit on our platform matrix.

Most importantly is there any other way to run flash videos without using
Flash plugin by Adobe? I couldn't compile Phonon because of the dbus-1
version mismatch. Is there any other alternative?

Any help is much appreciated.
