Screenshot of the browser error

OS: Debian Testing amd64
Package: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (v2.32.1-2) (http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/webkit2gtk/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37_2.32.1-2_amd64.deb)

Command line used: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser --enable-media-stream=True --enable-encrypted-media=True --enable-media-capabilities=True

Go to: https://developer-tools.jwplayer.com/stream-tester
Check "Force type to HLS" and click on "Test Stream" button.

Result is: This video file cannot be played. (Error Code: 102630)
Do the same with Firefox 89, Chrome 91, Edge 91, Opera 77, no error.


I found and installed the package gstreamer1.0-wpe, same result.
How to fix the problem?

None of these should matter for this page.

gstreamer1.0-wpe is not used either for this page.

Please set these env vars and share the gst.log file.
GST_DEBUG="3,webkit*:6" GST_DEBUG_FILE="gst.log"

What is the output of gst-inspect-1.0 hlsdemux ?
Did you install gst-plugins-bad?

gst.log

I have now installed gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad and gstreamer1.0-gl.
When I run the browser with:

GST_DEBUG="3,webkit*:6" GST_DEBUG_FILE="gst.log" /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser https://developer-tools.jwplayer.com/stream-tester

Video is readable, there is sound but video is always black.

gst-inspect-1.0 hlsdemux

Here is the output of gst-inspect-1.0 hlsdemux.
Thanks.

Now you need an h.264 decoder. Try to install gstreamer1.0-libav.

Your are right. Now it works. Thank you very much.
