[SOLVED] No HTML5 video play in any browser!

henriqueleng · 2014-03-26 01:19:18

I, i used firefox for a long time, but it use a lot of RAM memory (Chromium and Opera too).

I decided to try another browser. How i use DWM i choosed surf, that i think is the lightest browser. But in this browser i have no html5 video playback.
So i tried with other browser (dwb, luakit, lzlb) and the same with all, no video. I tried other html5 things like some games and animations and everything ok, except video.

Can you help me?

I guess webkitgtk uses gstreamer for media playback, in that case one thing you need is appropriate gstreamer plugin(s) for decoding the video.
try installing gst-plugins-good and gst-libav for starters if you haven't got them already.

Could you please post a link which contains an example HTML5 video you can't access?

I just installed dwb, this video didn't work for me out-of-the-box.

But if you follow this suggestion from the Wiki, it will work (restart dwb after installing these packages!).

It is strange it didn't work for you.

Have you tested on Firefox or Chromium? Even they are not 'lightweight', the results could say something useful.

I really don't know which software solved my problem, i think that was gst-libav. But now its ok!

Thanks everyone that helped!

Hi, I did a quick test on dwb in the DuckDuckGo about page: without gst-libav, only the audio played. With it, both the audio and the video played. Thanks for your feedback, I'll add this to the dwb wiki page.

Yeah, thats will be a good thing, and it not only solves the problem with dwb, solve with other browsers. Like in my case, i'm using jumanji!

Bye!
