I was researching further on this topic and stumbled across http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-December/017091.html Following it, I went to http://tinyvid.tv/ and I am able to play video's from that site in konqueror. So it is related to codecs. Hence I searched for gstreamer codecs that I didn't have. I installed the following additional packages gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins So the current set of installed gstreamer packages are local/gstreamer0.10 0.10.35-1 local/gstreamer0.10-bad 0.10.22-3 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) local/gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins 0.10.22-3 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) local/gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.35-1 local/gstreamer0.10-base-plugins 0.10.35-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) local/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.13-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) local/gstreamer0.10-good 0.10.30-1 local/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins 0.10.30-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) local/gstreamer0.10-python 0.10.22-1 local/gstreamer0.10-ugly 0.10.18-4 local/gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins 0.10.18-4 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) local/phonon-gstreamer 4.5.1-1 Log in again and it works. Now I can play the phoronix embedded video, html5demos video and the youtube trailer I mentioned upthread. I think what I did was a broad hammer but it worked. May be these could be added as optional dependencies to qtwebkit? -- Regards Shridhar
