QtWebkit 5.212 Test builds for SailfishOS.
ABANDONED!!! This package will not be updated for newer SailfishOS Versions (e.g. 3.4)
QtWebkit is the webengine for the WebView in Silica. Many applications like Webcat, LLs Video Player and others use the WebView and thus this Webengine.
Warning: These packages will change the webview component of your system. It could be that it isn't 100% compatible with every third party or system application. Only install if you know how to restore to the original packages.
You need to install the original packages in order to upgrade to a new SailfishOS release.
This is QtWebkit 5.212 build with gstreamer html5 audio + video support for SailfishOS including a fix for the Xperia X BGRA performance stuttering issue.
You need to install all the rpms for your specific plattform in order for it to work.

Could you add install and reinstall instructions? I tried it some time ago, but had problems going back.

Here is what packages to install and reinstall: https://together.jolla.com/question/219668/how-to-revert-original-packag...
This package is fantastic, you can simply go to any website and it just works, as it always should have been, I can't wait for official update of QTWebkit, and that they will keep it up to date this time.

Would using these with LD_LIBRARY_PATH before executing webcat work (without the need to reinstall system libs)?
edit: doesn't seem to work, even with LD_PRELOADing the qmlplugin.so's it still errors out referencing /usr/lib ones

Ok, I solved my problem. I don't know what I was doing wrong but installing your packages again and then installing original package solved my problem.

I've downloaded original packages, but I can't install them again from Terminal because I get the next message:
Fatal error: This request will break your system!
Any idea?

Without more information hard to tell why it is not working for you.
Which system? Pre 3.0.3 might be not supported due to abi incompatibility

I use SailfishOS 3.0.3.9. In which order I must install packages?

You must install all rpms from here for one architecture with the same version number. If you downloaded the non-html5 video version from merbuild make sure to install the normal package -widgets, -import-webkitplugin, -import-webkitplugin-experimental, -uiprocess-launcher
All at the same time please.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. If I try to install all the packages at the same time, I get fatal error. I've installed package by package and I get install everything, except libqtwebkit5-5.6.2 and qt5-qtwebkit-uiprocess-launcher-5.6.2

Why 5.6.2? 5.212 is the version for these packages

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain well. I wanted to install original packages v5.6.2 after try your packages. Your packages work really nice with browser and webcat, but some applications don't work fine so I decided to install original packages again.

Hi, is it me or Sailfish 2.2.1.18 doesnt need this to work seamlessly? Coz I had reverted qtwebview to original backup before updating (as suggested by Leszek) and now I didnt notice any previous problems is this a pure luck or confirmed info ? I checked whole SFOS 2.2.1.18 post on TJC and didnt see anything qt.webview related so its kinda wierd. Anyway thanks for Your hard work, and hope to get some hint about this situation :)

I have the same question Llectronics, could you please list the original packages? I couldn't find all 5 packages even after pkcon refresh. Also, should we uninstall the dev versions first, or direclty install the default ones?
[Edit] Found your instructions here: https://together.jolla.com/question/171114/xperia-xbug-qtwebkit-unusably...
Thanks!
For reference:
mkdir /home/nemo/Downloads/qtwebkit-orig-backup-rpms;
cd /home/nemo/Downloads/qtwebkit-orig-backup-rpms;
pkcon download . libqtwebkit5 libqtwebkit5-widgets qt5-qtqml-import-webkitplugin qt5-qtqml-import-webkitplugin-experimental qt5-qtwebkit-uiprocess-launcher
