After further testing, I can confirm that certain demos do not work as expected. I certainly had not tried the multimedia Qt demo. As expected it responds by saying: *This demo is not supported on Linux 1.4.10/4.8.6* webview went ahead and opened the Yahoo news page with an animated banner

Thank you all for your support. After downloading the latest Qt online.run file for linux, I could not get the Ubuntu laucher to accept the file. I did not try to build Qt5. But I did try out many of the Qt demos as well as Showcase demos. All worked fine including those involving videos. Of

Certainly linux supports playing mp4 but jqt for linux is built against an older version of Qt (4.8) because some linux boxes out there do not support Qt 5. This is an issue of Qt libraries only. One can also build jqt against Qt 5.4 from source. On May 3, 2016 3:19 AM, "Raul Miller"

Oops, I was sloppy and missed that linux was involved. Under linux you're probably at the mercy of the installed handlers for MIME types and whatever overrides have been installed. See https://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport (and linked pages) for example, for the basics, then something like

Thanks Raul, I suppose that is possible, but I would have thought that Linux would have a way of dealing with .mp4 files. The error of not finding a multimedia control in labsel makes me think that it is looking in the lab selection form for the videoviewer controls. This is why I suspect a

Is there a chance that the video viewer has an OS requirement? (Like maybe windows media player needs to be installed?) Thanks, -- Raul On Mon, May 2, 2016 at 2:47 PM, robert therriault wrote: > Hi Robert and much thanks for letting me know about the issue you found. >

Murray, I have updated the video viewer for the labs to include an option to increase the size of the video viewing window if you have access to a larger screen. If you update the the video viewer from the package manager, you should see radio buttons down the left size of the screen that

Thanks Murray, I will look into that, but at the size of the video files downloaded I won't guarantee that bigger would be more viewable. Also, I would be more inclined to have the form resizable because covering the whole form with a larger video would reduce the functionality. If you are
