Browsers for Kubuntu 16.04

[GreyGeek]

it would appear as though I was wrong about QMplay2 not playing .mpeg.webm video ,,,,,it dose play on my Neon-LTS ... but not my Kubuntu-16.04 with neon/dev/stable repos added .

the Kubuntu has full ffmpeg installed but Neon-LTS dose not ,, just a lot of libxxxx-ffmpegxxx packages.

but both are xenial packages.

I had read the qmplay2 docs about moving the desired codec to the top but it didn't help with the video. I have gl3.1 and gl2.0 but not gl2.1, which may be the difference, because neither 3.1 or 2.0 helped.

I installed smplayer and it works beautifully. It also has context options to allow playing a video in the list with mpv or mpv+youtube-dl. And, if I want to download a video I can always use mpsyt to do so. So, I am golden on videos.

GG Let us know which video download extension you find for Qupzilla. I've not found one, yet.

One extension (or option) that I haven't found is spell checking.

No problem, though, because I often compose replies in Kate before I post them to a comment section.

I installed smplayer and unlike qmplay2 it works beautifully. However, I did not see any option in Qupzilla to run smplayer on YT.

I was running SMPlayer as a separate tool, not through Qupzilla.

The YouTube(r) Browser option menu is in the SMplayer menu bar (page top, beneath title). "File Play Video Audio Subtitles Browse Options Help" Click <Options->Youtube(r) Browser

And yeah, the spell checker would be a real plus for Qupzilla.

Oh, so no option in QupZilla to play YT videos through smplayer. It doesn't matter because QupZilla plays YT videos without a problem, but it doesn't allow download options or extensions. I covered that problem with mpsyt.

Sadly it looks like that is the case.

I'd really like to have a video download / capture extension, but I can live without it if/when Firefox goes against the Force...

I opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...a/+bug/1440743
And I got it to work on Manjaro Stable KDE: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/qupzilla.../13?u=mparillo

Are you talking about the spell checking or Qupzilla in general?

qwebengine_convert_dict is not available in Neon or Ubuntu's repository.
And "Enable Spellcheck" is not an option in the Kubuntu/Neon version of QupZilla.

QmPlay2

the Kubuntu has full ffmpeg installed but Neon-LTS dose not ,, just a lot of libxxxx-ffmpegxxx packages.

I have tried just about every media player in the repos for playing stuff but QmPlay2 is not there.

For QMMP and others,

I have found that these almost always get the job done for any player and also provides thumbnails for videos.

One has to REMEMBER to go to Dolphin settings and go to Previews tab and actually TICK the box to enable thumbnails for videos.

gstreamer0.10.0 plugins-base
gstreamer0.10.0 plugins-good
ffmpegthumbnailer
libffmpegthumbnailer4.05
libgstreamer plugin base 0.10.0
libgstreamer-10.0
gstreamer 0.10.0
ffmpeg (this also brings libavdevice-ffmpeg56
ffmpeg thumbs

you could do those as a list install in terminal

of course

Kubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvd-pkg

AS A NOTE:

I found that installing Plasma Media Center, VLC, QMMP, and Gmerlin brought ALL codecs etc and QMMP works fine,

All that was needed then was the thumbs libraries.

Thanks for the mention of QmPlay2 I'll install it.

QmPlay2 is not in "my" Kubuntu latest repos.

To Install;

sudo apt install libcddb2 libva-glx1

From Zap's My git hub at SourceForge download the QmPlay2 .deb, use Qapt to install.

It has progressed a lot from a few years go! Thanks Vinny!

enjoy!

Sorry, when I was replying to GreyGeek's post, the full context was lost. I was replying about enabling spell checking in Qupzilla.

[TWPonKubuntu]

...
And "Enable Spellcheck" is not an option in the Kubuntu/Neon version of QupZilla.

It (spell checking) is also not an option with QupZilla under Linux mint (ubuntu based).
