Phonon minimum needs to play a video.
The documentation about Phonon [doc.qt.nokia.com] provided by Qt doesn’t give you an “out of the box” explanation on how to play a video using Phonon in Qt. That’s why I write this down in order to help a little.
Before you start testing, make sure that you have the right programs and or libs installed on your computer. Look here [doc.qt.nokia.com] for the setup you need.
You need only 4 items to get a video to play.
- You need to have a Phonon::MediaObject [doc.qt.nokia.com]
- You need to have a Phonon::VideoWidget [doc.qt.nokia.com]
- You need to have a Phonon::AudioOutput [doc.qt.nokia.com]
- add your .pro file with “+= phonon”
Then the code:
That’s all there is.
- Note: This code only works on local video files. I didn’t have YouTube videos and mms streaming working yet. When I do, I will edit this page.
It’s off course also possible for others to edit a working code.
