QT 4.8 Breaks Webkit video on Windows 7

[Phill]

Webkit video does not work.Windows 7.

 It appears that it was broken in 4.8.

Maybe we should downgrade, as this is stopping replace live background.

There is a bug report here:

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22883?focusedCommentId=181614#comment-181614

Just re-reading the bug report, there is a way of fixing this, but involves building Qt from scratch. I dont know how long or easy this you be..

Secondly, apparently it is because Phonon has/is being depreciated in Qt, and QWebKit uses Phonon. Maybe we should think about drooping Phonon in OpenLP in the next version, or some when after that.

When I went to Python 2.7, I installed PyQT 4.9.

 Since then I've moved back to 4.8.4 (which is recommended on Wiki).

I have not been able to find an install for PyQT 4.7 for Python 2.7.

I have never been able to get a video to play on Windows 7 using webkit (ever since I first started using OpenLP over a year ago.

Videos may/or may not work with webkit on Windows XP.

When I installed VLC 2.0 and had OpenLP use that, all videos work.

The 4.8 mentioned in the description is Qt, not PyQt, and PyQt is always one minor version ahead of Qt. So Pt 4.8 == PyQt 4.9, hence why PyQt 4.8.4 is recommended on the wiki.

Marking as Fix Release because we did fix it. We're waiting on an upstream fix to be able to ship OpenLP with PyQt 4.9 and Qt 4.9
