[Interest] HLS Streaming in Qt?

[Lopes Yoann]

Hi,

As Mandeep said, it depends on the backend. Apple’s AVFoundation framework, which we use on iOS and Mac OS, supports playing HLS streams. However it doesn’t currently work because of an implementation issue on our side; see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-39720.

Qt, natively does not support HLS. It'll depend on the backend that QtMultimedia uses on a particular platform.

So check if the iOS backend supports (which it ideally should as HLS is from Apple too). I haven't played with QtMultimedia in a while so I'm not sure if juts passing an m3u8 url will work out of the box.

Dear all,

I would like to make an app for iOS and android featuring a HLS stream.

Does Qt support HLS streaming maybe using a QML component?
Especially on Android HLS support seems to be limited with Android versions below 4.4 so just opening a webView and using HTML5 video object will probably not work with many devices running with android 4.1 -4.3

Does maybe someone knows a link to an example of how to do HLS streaming with Qt?

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas
