Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: Linux When specified, Konqueror should display the intended poster image instead of the start of the video. Example: <video src="film.ogv" poster="recognisable.jpg"> </video> Benefits: * W3C [1] says the poster should be "representative" and "give the user an idea". Displaying the first frame is not necessarily helpful, for example if it is black, like [2]. * Images load faster than videos, and are often sufficient. I'm starting to see blogs with (many) videos like [3], and it's not like I'm watching all videos every visit. In my testpage [2] with 2 videos, videos appear 5-10 seconds after the rest.

2 testcases from the HTML5 test suite which test the poster attribute of the <video> element: The 'HTMLVideoElement' interface supports setting 'poster' to an absolute URL http://w3c-test.org/html/tests/approved/video/video_009.htm The 'HTMLVideoElement' interface supports setting 'poster' to a relative URL http://w3c-test.org/html/tests/approved/video/video_010.htm Both testcases fail in Konqueror 4.6.4. KDE Platform Version: 4.6.4 Konqueror version: 4.6.4 Qt Version: 4.7.2 Operating System: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic-pae i686 Distribution: Kubuntu 11.04 here. regards, Gérard
I see that Konqueror 4.7.2 displays poster images when using WebKit. KHTML still fails.
Dear user, KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6. Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component. We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes. For security issues, please see: https://kde.org/info/security/ Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML. Greetings Christoph Cullmann
