Many thanx for sharing you work.
State is good - in sense that brief tests shows:
• what works in qtwebkit also works in qtwebengine
• what not works in qtwebkit also no works in qtwebengine
@ALL
I think:
• screen drawing issues described here are (imho) issue of mythtv as they are (in my case) very similar in: qtwebkit & qtwebengine
• ultimately i think mythtv should have selectable what web engine is used: qtwebkit or qtwebengine
• reason to have optional qtwebkit: it perfectly fit for small systems (i.e. in my case switch from qtwebkit to qtwebengine i.e. increases rootfs size by 30%).
If there will be agreement - i can rework Paul's patch (or maybe Paul is willing to do this) in a way that usage of web engine will be selectable at configure:
add option disabled by default:
--use-qtwebkit
-default will be QtWebEngine
-if --use-qtwebkit=yes then mytht will use QtWebKit
let me know what you think....
