[Android-development] Full-featured video player

[Abrahamsen-Blomfeldt Eskil]

Hi,

In the Qt for Android port, the media player APIs in Android are used to decode video, so the video formats supported are the ones supported by the platform.

If you want to support additional video formats, you can write a plugin for QtMultimedia which uses the technology of your choice. If you look in QtMultimedia, there are several examples for this, e.g. a gstreamer-based plugin.

Emne: [Android-development] Full-featured video player

Hello,

I've spent a lot of time with trying to play mostly TS and mp4 files using Qt mediaplayer but without any success. It's a lot of better with new Qt5.1 which enables me to play mp4 files and some TS files with AVC encoded video. But no MPEG streams or multicast streams which I really need. It has the same capabilities like default android video player.

I also needs to control audio and subtitles tracks in stream.

Is in any plan to extend Qt media player to provide these features?

If it's not in plan to support this I'm thinking how to satisfy my requirements with Qt because I'm impressed by features like QML and new particles effects etc..
There is gstreamer available for android which is great tool but it doesn't work very well in android.
Next is ffmpeg which is used by many video players in market which really works and works great.

Do anyone know how can I show a video output from ffmpeg in QML element in same way as default media player is showed? I've spent a lot of time with googling it but there is no example how to use it with Qt or without use of window id which is usable on X11 but not android.

Can anyone help me with this, please? I'm starting to be hopeless with it :( and this feature is critical in deciding whether use Qt in future. I will appreciate also discussion or some notices to my problem.

Thank you very much.

Dominik
