Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Chromium or Firefox and the google-talkplugin (in the case of Archlinux, from the AUR). Open the browser and go to plus.google.com/hangouts and start a hangout to verify that the plugin functions. 2. Install dwb (or another webkit gtk browser), and browse to plus.google.com/hangouts and start a hangout to see the "Troubleshooting Hangouts" error page from Google+ to verify that it fails to function. 753025 1 samuel.stuewe 2012-10-28 18:39:20 -0700 I am unsure of the webkit gtk version to report. The version of libwebkit I have installed is 1.8.3-1 (from the Arch official repos). 850531 2 samuel.stuewe 2013-03-07 15:26:15 -0800 As an update, this problem is still present with local/webkitgtk2 1.10.2-2 883793 3 marko.rakamaric 2013-05-02 07:44:53 -0700 why is this still uncomfirmed? while you can find so much users who's complaining about this issue. I am also affected. My webkit version is : webkitgtk2 1.10.2-2 same issue persist on webkit-gtk3 version will it ever be resolved or assigned to anyone? 883799 4 samuel.stuewe 2013-05-02 08:11:09 -0700 This bug definitely still exists, but the reporting system is a bit unhelpful here. I know the versions of libwebkit and webkit-gtk, but the available versions which I can report on do not follow the same versioning system. So, I don't actually know if the version I have selected is correct. But yeah, this is definitely still a thing. 883811 5 zan 2013-05-02 09:17:17 -0700 Can confirm with trunk.

(the iterations continuing) 884503 6 zan 2013-05-04 01:17:18 -0700 Interestingly, the hangouts actually function properly under WebKitGTK+ when the following is done: 1. Open the Chrome browser, go to https://plus.google.com/hangouts, 2. Start a hangout, wait for the initalization to complete & video to show, 3. Close the hangout window, but stay on https://plus.google.com/hangouts, 4. Start the GtkLauncher (testing on ToT, can't yet confirm for Epiphany), go to https://plus.google.com/hangouts, 5. Start a hangout, the video should now show. 892760 7 zan 2013-05-23 05:24:09 -0700 Now works with trunk and in WebKit2GTK+ 2.0, with Google Talk Plugin 3.19.1.0-1. Checked in the MiniBrowser app and Epiphany 3.8. The issue in the first place was the Talk plugin running with an incorrect libudev shared library, but this seems to have been fixed. 892762 8 zan 2013-05-23 05:27:17 -0700 Can confirm this is still an issue in WebKit1Gtk+ (as checked in the GtkLauncher app), both in 1.10 and 2.0. 961391 9 swagiaal 2013-12-19 08:04:50 -0800 Hi Zan, > The issue in the first place was the Talk plugin running with an incorrect libudev shared library, but this seems to have been fixed. How did you diagnose that ? And did you find any workarounds ? I am working on a possibly related issue where eclipse (which uses webkit1) crashes when google-talkplugin is installed (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334466) 1680801 10 cgarcia 2020-08-17 06:50:50 -0700 Plugins are no longer supported.
