Title: Beta 12 release (01-01-2017)
Post by: Emdek on 2017-01-01, 20:39:27

As usual plans for the milestone got truncated...
But at least we finally got AppImage, Windows got more usable multimedia player and spell checking support.
One more thing, revived QtWebKit finally landed fullscreen support. :-D

Are proxies working with this build? I've set a proxy in manual mode, but Otter ignored this setting.

@Freeman, there is known issue where proxies for HTTPS could be ignored, I'm not aware of anything else.

@kanakomoerer, well, it broke. ;-)
But the good news is that it was already fixed for next weekly.

HTML5 player

I can watch youtube.com by otter-browser, but I can't watch http://www.bilibili.com/ by otter-browser.
I can watch both websites by firefox.

Please try

@wutian2016, are you sure that it's HTML5 video?
I only see flash player there.

@wutian2016, I've tried it on Windows 10 and video plays fine there (HTML5), my guess is that MF on Windows 7 is missing something required to play their videos.
On this list I see only one item added after Windows 7, perhaps it's incomplete:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757927(v=vs.85).aspx

You can try -xp version too, it uses previous multimedia backend that depends on codecs installed by user.

It's been some time since I last used Otter on Windows, and recently I've upgraded to the latest (weekly #165). It looks and works much better nowadays. Thanks for the great job you've been doing.

@beastie, engine side improvements should be credited to annulen and vitallium. ;-)

Yes, I've seen annulen's WebKit contributions on GitHub. Very well then, thanks to annulen and vitallium too. :D

@beastie, BTW, what is the current status of revived QtWebKit on FreeBSD, is someone working on port?
I think that I've seen some patches somewhere...
Title: Re: Beta 12 release (01-01-2017)
Post by: beastie on 2017-03-05, 11:56:56
I haven't seen anything related to it on the forums or mailing lists. :/

@beastie, it would be a good idea to bring that topic, since it's a serious upgrade over legacy version, but note that some stuff is still missing (private mode is easy to work around):
https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki/Comparison-with-QtWebKit-5.6

It's not ready yet to be full drop-in replacement for all use cases but should be pretty soon.

I've seen some work in progress here:
https://area51.pcbsd.org/branches/plasma5/PORTS/www/qt5-webkit-annulen/

Post by: beastie on 2017-03-05, 20:27:00
Ah, good find! I check the Area 51 from time to time but must have missed that one.

As to the question of "when", the usual reply is "when it's ready" hehe. FreeBSD developers and port maintainers are on the conservative side, so ports that big usually stay in the pipeline for weeks and sometimes months before being approved (as has been the case for the latest Qt port with WebEngine support).
Of course one can always use experimental port trees, but things are not guaranteed to work well or at all.

Post by: Emdek on 2017-03-06, 04:42:03
@beastie, sure, but this is also security update. ;-)
So once it will be feature complete replacement then I would recommend to replace it ASAP, so it could be a good idea if they would at least take a look now (since revived QtWebKit is really very close to fill missing gaps now).

@wutian2016, not yet, right now only User Scripts are supported.
I'm not sure if such tool is doable as User Script, but you can always ask authors.

@wutian2016, you can try QtWebEngine build too, these are located in experimental (https://sourceforge.net/projects/otter-browser/files/otter-browser-beta12/experimental/) folder, these are based on Blink engine (used by Chrome).
But note that these have some issues.
