As title. I visited a website using M-x xwidget-webkit-browse-url and
tried to play the video in it (ex: the video on https://www.gnu.org/),
but webkit hanging infinitely. I think this is a known issue as Po Lu
already flie a ticket to the webkit developers [1]. But currently the
issue is blocked by unable to reproduce the problem in the webkit
side. Hence I opened this one in the Emacs side for tracking and also
wish to raise the attention of Emacs graphics experts to help solving
the problems. Thanks.

What is the Emacs problem we are supposed to investigate here, to help
solving the problem?


IMHO we need to verify first if this is really a webkit's bug or it's actually Emacs own problems. The simplest way is to write some toy program to reproduce the issue without involving Emacs.

From the bug description, I saw Po mentioned that he "can't get video to play in a WebKitWebView attached to a GtkOffscreenWindow", it would be better to elaborate how the buggy code is written and see if we can extract those part into independent sample program and send it to the webkit team.

Thanks.
