Bug ID: 418030
Summary: Reduced support for video playback on 5.14 runtime
Product: Qt/KDE Flatpak Runtime
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: rinigus....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When compared to 5.12, 5.14 with WebEngine BaseApp is able to playback less web
-provided videos than before. Not sure whether its related to changes in
runtime packaging upstream or some other changes. Reporting it here to, as I
don't think its Angelfish issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Angelfish and other Flatpak packages. My current configuration on
x86_64 has org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 as an extension. That extension is
not available on ARM. On 5.12, we used to have
org.freedesktop.Platform.html5-codecs (x86 and arm), which doesn't seem to be
available anymore.
2. On x86_64, videos seem to play, but are jumping back and forth during a
playback. (see examples below)
3. On ARM 32 (Sailfish), I get no playback with the following errors
[79:147:0222/143109.039453:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(27)] MediaEvent:
MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"video decoder initialization failed"}
[79:79:0222/143109.041734:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(27)] MediaEvent:
PIPELINE_ERROR DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

All worked as it should in 5.12. ARM and x86_64 played videos well.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Flatpak Platform: 5.14
x86_64 - Gentoo PC
ARM - Flatpak running on Sailfish OS (ARM32 bit on ARM64bit hardware)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is also org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full which I don't know really
how to use. Maybe that could help somehow?
