MiniBrowser crashes at http://cbc.ca

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Craig Foote]

Crashes with message:

WebKit wasn't able to find a WebVTT encoder. Subtitles handling will be degraded unless gst-plugins-bad is installed.

** (MiniBrowser:31604): WARNING **: 13:49:54.537: WebProcess CRASHED

Installed to fix:

GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set
1.18.5-1ubuntu1

(sorry, don't know actual package names, installed from Software application)

MiniBrowser then loaded http://cbc.ca no problem. Removed "GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set" and error returned.

If this is a dependency, shouldn't it be installed with WebKit?

Sorry, should have added I'm running Ubuntu 21.10 pretty much stock under Wayland. Looking at Webkit:

Absolutely, but that's on Ubuntu, we can't do it for you.

Anyway, since bug #233230 we now just print a warning instead of crashing, much better.
