When testing several 'lighter' web browsers based on WebkitGTK, I found that they are all unable to play back video due to errors from the webkitgtk backend.
I tested Surf (webkitgtk40-2.44.4) and Luakit (webkitgtk41-2.44.4). Epiphany shows the same inability to play video but also has other issues (like using 20% CPU with no pages open) so I didn't pursue that very far. OpenBSD emulti8.emulti.net 7.6 GENERIC.MP#338 amd64 packages updated with pkg_add -u dmesg below webkitgtk40-2.44.4 (installed) webkitgtk41-2.44.4 (installed) On startup Surf shows: $ surf WARNING: Kernel has no file descriptor comparison support: Resource temporarily unavailable WARNING: Kernel has no file descriptor comparison support: Operation not supported by device Could not read style file: /home/chris/.surf/styles/default.css Then if a video is played (tested both Youtube and other sites, no difference): ** (WebKitWebProcess:10093): WARNING **: 14:27:50.619: The GStreamer FDK AAC plugin is missing, AAC playback is unlikely to work.

The 'FDK' plugin is supposed to be part of gstreamer1-plugins-bad, which is installed. I also tried installing audio/fdk-aac to no effect. Is "Kernel has no file descriptor comparison support" an expected error on OpenBSD due to our fd implementation? The same errors are shown both with Luakit, Surf and Epiphany so I am suspecting it's WebkitGTK doing all the complaining. Does anyone have any ideas what the video playback issue might be, or is this expected behaviour for WebkitGTK on OpenBSD? It would be nice to have a general-purpose alternative to Chromium+derivatives and Firefox on OpenBSD, particularly as Mozilla seem to be turning to an ad-monetizing business model. -- Chris
