Emacs xwidgets gtk video/audio issue

ArchBoxHero · 2018-03-05 21:26:49

Hey birds, I have been at this for a couple of weeks in my spare time and would like to get to the bottom of it. I have emacs-git 27.0.50 installed with xwidgets(I have also tried 25 & 26 along with emacs-xwidgets from source) . I get emacs to run fine on both my Arch laptop and Desktop except for one issue- When I go to youtube or any podcast/live streaming music site it hangs on buffering. Now, on my desktop I have a dual-boot with Kubuntu 16.04 and emacs does all that it should, videos and music stream fine.

Both emacs 25 & 27 run fine on my Kubuntu which is on the same hardware as my Arch Desktop. Here is my graphics card from the desktop :

 arcarius@archBoxHero  ~  lspci | grep VGA                          
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 710B] (rev a1)
 arcarius@archBoxHero  ~ 

And here it is from my Lenevo laptop :

✘ arcarius@archlinux  ~  lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
 arcarius@archlinux  ~

I thought maybe it had something to do with codecs (this is the newbie corner) so I went and tried to install what I could find. I do have flash-standalone installed as well.
In my journeys I found some leads about it being a gtk issue so installed extra/wxgtk3 3.0.3.1-11 as well as a few different gtk packages as well. I could post any information that is necessary.
But here is what shows up in my terminal on my laptop which I couldn't find any info on :

(emacs:2000): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkwindow-x11.c:5579 drawable is not a native X11 window
Error scanning plugin /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/npica.so, /usr/lib/WebKitPluginProcess returned 256 exit status

I do not get the same on my desktop terminal but I do get this(which shows up on both laptop and desktop arch -not kubuntu)

(emacs:5825): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkwindow-x11.c:5579 drawable is not a native X11 window

(emacs:5825): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to GtkOffscreenWindow 0x5410530 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?

I found this link but before I go installing anything else I would like to see if there is a fix. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=220505

I realize this is not that important and I have read and understand some people's opinions about this subject with emacs and xwidgets.
I can post any info that is necessary. I am just looking for a direction to go in here. Any help of course, as always, greatly appreciated.

Update
When I delete my icaclient that error

Error scanning plugin /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/npica.so, /usr/lib/WebKitPluginProcess returned 256 exit status

goes away. Not sure what my icaclient has to do with me running emacs with xwidgets? Either way, hopefully one of you brains can share some knowledge.

Edit: 2018-08-18 - I thought I would pop in to see if I can get a bump here. I once again have some time to tinker with this issue and would really love if anyone had any ideas on where I can start to bang on things here? When it comes to the arch wiki I can easily find solutions to problems that are clear but this, well, I have zero ideas on where to even begin to look. I'll jump on an irc at some point to dig around but really I just want to fix the problem. I don't need to have emacs run videos for me, its the principal ya know? Either way, hope to hear from someone. Thanks.
