Sigil-0.9.9 Released - Page 5

Does QtWebEngine instead of QtWebkit help on Windows in any way? I have a buggy pre-alpha level PreviewWindow built with QtWebEngine on Qt5.8 that I built a while back that I could try rebuilding with the latest Qt 5.9 if it would help at all on Windows for multimedia.

I don't know, to tell the honest truth. I just remember you saying that Preview was slow as molasses ported to QtWebEngine when you were experimenting. I doubt it's gotten much better with 5.9.

I'm able to get good Windows builds of the new (github.com/annulen) QtWebKit, now, so I'm going to experiment with the nightly snapshots to see if it's gotten any better since the last release. I submitted a bugfix (through Konstantine Tokarev) upstream at WebKit to fix the local-media auto-play issue, so I'm curious to see if it alleviates any of QtWebkit (and hence, Sigil's) Windows Multimedia Foundation woes with multiple video/audio elements in one page. It's just finding the time.
