I had to remove phonon, phonon-xine and phonon-gstreamer using --nodeps. I also created a symlink /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend pointing to /usr/lib/qt/plugins/phonon_backend/ I also installed gstreamer good/bad/ugly plugins. After this, webkit built the video support and html5test reports mpeg4/h.264 but no webm. I can play videos from tinyvid.tv too(which are ogv format). but this build of webkit crashes way too many times with the NP-Initialize error. So I am not using this for the moment. Youtube still does not work for some reason. I thought h.264 should work with that. juk works so basic phonon support is working but control center disappears after clicking on multimedia. The error logged is symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_phonon.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK6Phonon12GlobalConfig19hideAdvancedDevicesEv So I guess things are not fully ok and it would require kdelibs rebuild too. I am now back to webkit bundled with Qt. I guess it will be sometime before things work as expected with a webkit based browser. -- Regards Shridhar
