Detailed Description

The QMediaPlayer class is a high level media playback class. It can be used to playback such content as songs, movies and internet radio. The content to playback is specified as a QMediaContent object, which can be thought of as a main or canonical URL with additional information attached. When provided with a QMediaContent playback may be able to commence.

player = new QMediaPlayer;
connect(player, SIGNAL(positionChanged(qint64)), this, SLOT(positionChanged(qint64)));
player->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/Users/me/Music/coolsong.mp3"));
player->setVolume(50);
player->play();

QVideoWidget can be used with QMediaPlayer for video rendering and QMediaPlaylist for accessing playlist functionality.

playlist->addMedia(QUrl("http://example.com/movie1.mp4"));
playlist->addMedia(QUrl("http://example.com/movie2.mp4"));
playlist->addMedia(QUrl("http://example.com/movie3.mp4"));
playlist->setCurrentIndex(1);
player = new QMediaPlayer;
player->setPlaylist(playlist);
videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);
videoWidget->show();
player->play();

Since QMediaPlayer is a QMediaObject, you can use several of the QMediaObject functions for things like:

See also
audioRole
QStringList QMediaPlayer::supportedMimeTypes ( Flags  flags = Flags())
deprecatedstatic
Deprecated:

Returns a list of MIME types supported by the media player.

The flags argument causes the resultant list to be restricted to MIME types which can be supported given additional requirements, such as performance indicators.

This function may not return useful results on some platforms, and support for a specific file of a given mime type is not guaranteed even if the mime type is in general supported. In addition, in some cases this function will need to load all available media plugins and query them for their support, which may take some time.

Property Documentation

QMediaPlayer::audioAvailable

This property stores the audio availability status for the current media.

As the life time of QMediaPlayer can be longer than the playback of one QMediaContent, this property may change over time, the audioAvailableChanged signal can be used to monitor it's status.

PropertiesClass Methods
read isAudioAvailable
notify audioAvailableChanged
QMediaPlayer::audioRole

This property defines the role of the audio stream played by the media player.

This property can be set to specify the type of audio being played, allowing the system to make appropriate decisions when it comes to volume, routing or post-processing. The audio role must be set before calling setMedia().

See also
supportedAudioRoles()
PropertiesClass Methods
read audioRole
write setAudioRole
QMediaPlayer::bufferStatus

This property defines the percentage of the temporary buffer filled before playback begins or resumes, from 0 (empty) to 100 (full).

When the player object is buffering; this property holds the percentage of the temporary buffer that is filled. The buffer will need to reach 100% filled before playback can start or resume, at which time mediaStatus() will return BufferedMedia or BufferingMedia. If the value is anything lower than 100, mediaStatus() will return StalledMedia.

See also
mediaStatus()
PropertiesClass Methods
read bufferStatus
notify bufferStatusChanged
QMediaPlayer::currentMedia

The property stores the current active media content being played by the player object.

This value could be different from QMediaPlayer::media property if a playlist is used. In this case currentMedia indicates the current media content being processed by the player, while QMediaPlayer::media property contains the original playlist.

See also
QMediaContent, media()
PropertiesClass Methods
read currentMedia
notify currentMediaChanged
QMediaPlayer::duration

This property stores the duration of the current media.

The value is the total playback time in milliseconds of the current media. The value may change across the life time of the QMediaPlayer object and may not be available when initial playback begins, connect to the durationChanged() signal to receive status notifications.

PropertiesClass Methods
read duration
notify durationChanged
QMediaPlayer::error

This property contains a string describing the last error condition.

See also
error()
PropertiesClass Methods
read errorString
QMediaPlayer::media

This property stores the active media source being used by the player object. The player object will use the QMediaContent for selection of the content to be played. By default this property has a null QMediaContent.

Setting this property to a null QMediaContent will cause the player to discard all information relating to the current media source and to cease all I/O operations related to that media.

See also
QMediaContent, currentMedia()
PropertiesClass Methods
read media
write setMedia
notify mediaChanged
QMediaPlayer::mediaStatus

This property stores the status of the current media stream. The stream status describes how the playback of the current stream is progressing. By default this property is QMediaPlayer::NoMedia.

See also

PropertiesClass Methods
read mediaStatus
notify mediaStatusChanged
QMediaPlayer::muted

This property stores the muted state of the current media. The value will be true if the playback volume is muted, otherwise false.

PropertiesClass Methods
read isMuted
write setMuted
notify mutedChanged
QMediaPlayer::playbackRate

This property defines the playback rate of the current media.

This value is a multiplier applied to the media's standard play rate. By default this value is 1.0, indicating that the media is playing at the standard pace. Values higher than 1.0 will increase the rate of play. Values less than zero can be set and indicate the media will rewind at the multiplier of the standard pace.

Not all playback services support change of the playback rate. The quality of audio and video while fast forwarding or rewinding depends on the platform media backend.

PropertiesClass Methods
read playbackRate
write setPlaybackRate
notify playbackRateChanged
QMediaPlayer::playlist

This property stores the media playlist being used by the player object. The player object will use the current playlist item for selection of the content to be played. By default this property is set to null.

If the media playlist is used as a source, QMediaPlayer::currentMedia is updated with a current playlist item. The current source should be selected with QMediaPlaylist::setCurrentIndex(int) instead of QMediaPlayer::setMedia(), otherwise the current playlist will be discarded.

See also
QMediaContent
PropertiesClass Methods
read playlist
write setPlaylist
QMediaPlayer::position

This property stores the playback position of the current media.

The value is the current playback position, expressed in milliseconds since the beginning of the media. Periodically changes in the position will be indicated with the signal positionChanged(), the interval between updates can be set with QMediaObject's method setNotifyInterval().

PropertiesClass Methods
read position
write setPosition
notify positionChanged
QMediaPlayer::seekable

This property stores the seekable status of the current media.

If seeking is supported this property will be true; false otherwise. The status of this property may change across the life time of the QMediaPlayer object, use the seekableChanged signal to monitor changes.
