HTML5 fullscreen on youtube broken

Need to test with Qt 5.3.2, this might be a regression.

According to the upstream bug this seems to be a missing feature rather than a bug - closing this, as it's rather unlikely this will appear in QtWebKit...

This webkit issue affects other browsers. How is it unlikely to be fixed. Isn't QtWebKit project developped to support new features? Shouldn't HTML5 functionnality support be a primary goal? I must say that I don't know alot about QtWebKit project.

QtWebKit is deprecated, so it'll only get security fixes unless someone contributes to it. Things will probably better when there's a QtWebEngine backend for qutebrowser (see #666) - QtWebEngine is the maintained successor and based on Chromium.

I suggest using a video player like mpv to watch videos - see 9. in the FAQ for details.

Good news! If this means pages will be rendered as good as Chromium can, I can't wait for this. Oh, and what a number for referencing this issue!

Yes, I've red the FAQ. That's what I've been doing. Thank you.

I can't wait either! Unfortunately there are some other things I'll need to take care of first - writing lots of tests, mainly - so I can see what breaks 😉. I hope I'll have something testable for Qt 5.6 in December.

And yep, the number definitely is funny - at least I can easily remember it without looking it up all the time 😆

Side note concerning the FAQ: it could be useful to add that an extra package may be required to directly play the YouTube video in mpv (e.g. youtube-dl on Arch).

@bchretien Done - thanks for the suggestion!
