GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 771590
Epiphany doesn't display videos on Twitter

Epiphany doesn't show videos in the Twitter timeline. Here's an example tweet which I cannot view: - https://twitter.com/_youhadonejob1/status/777048759305986048 With this video, first I see the first frame of the video with the blue play button in the middle for a fraction of a second, and then it turns black saying "Dieser Browser unterstützt keine Wiedergabe von Videos" ("This browser doesn't support video playback"). Hm, and the video from this tweet - https://twitter.com/FunnySportsGIFs/status/710617946502991873 does play in the sense that I do see the controls in the lower corner of the frame and the progress bar progresses but still all I see is blackness. And the video from this tweet - https://twitter.com/austinmackie1/status/720648225045266432 shows a button "Missing plugin". Well, it seems just scrolling the timeline of this Twitter account - https://twitter.com/FunnySportsGIFs shows all different kinds of "cannot play videos" listed above. I've tried the option "Allow advertisements" but that doesn't seem to help in this case.
Hi! I see in my terminal: 0:00:17.949748261 10406 0x49ff90 ERROR webkitmediaplayer MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer.cpp:908:handleMessage: Error 12: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. (url=https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CsihpLyXEAEecR8.mp4) 0:00:17.986553996 10406 0x49ff90 ERROR webkitmediaplayer MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer.cpp:908:handleMessage: Error 1: Internal data stream error. (url=https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CsihpLyXEAEecR8.mp4) So it's trying to play an mp4. No chance of that working in any distros that care about silly things like "US and European law." ;) If you think you have the right GStreamer decoder installed (it does not exist at all in Fedora for legal reasons), then you can report a bug on bugzilla.webkit.org including a link to this bug report and noting the versions of WebKitGTK+ and GStreamer that you have installed. When reporting the WebKit bug, be sure to include the prefix '[GStreamer]' in the bug summary, select the 'Media Elements' component, and CC bugs-noreply@webkitgtk.org. Before reporting a WebKit bug, run Epiphany in a terminal to make sure you don't see the same errors as me. A WebKit bug is warranted if there is some additional bug even if you have the right decoder installed.
When I start it as "epiphany 'https://twitter.com/FunnySportsGIFs'" or just epiphany and browse to that account, I don't see any console output at all. Is there any debugging option I have to set?

I don't think so, no. That's good then, you can go ahead and report a WebKit bug.

Created attachment 348762 [details] [review] file-chooser: make show trash as optional When a file is copied/moved, Trash is listed in the destination list, which shouldn't happen. This commit adds the option to remove the Trash place from the GtkPlacesSidebar. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771509
