[Qt-interest] QtWebKit plugin issues

[Paul Colby]

Hi Peter,

Below is the code for a really simple QtWebKit app I wrote as a test
case.  It works fine in OSX and Windows, and should work fine in Linux
too.  Why not give it a go... that way, you can reasonably determine
if the problem is in your Qt code vs your Qt / Flash installation.

#include <QApplication>
#include <QWebView>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QWebView webView;
  webView.settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled,true);
  webView.setUrl(QUrl::fromEncoded("http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/"));
  webView.show();
  return app.exec();
}

Hope that helps narrow it down for you - even if only a little.

BTW, the Flash plugin crashes QtWebKit for Windows in Qt 4.6.1 beta 1
(https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30375) just in case you were
thinking about trying that out :|
