[Interest] Accessing custum url types for Media Player

[Pasiak, Emily]

I want to use a Video/MediaPlayer QML element in my app, and have it play a video from a custom stream. QMediaPlayer seems to support this since you can tell it to read from a QIODevice which can do anything you want. But MediaPlayer only supports a URL.

Is there any way I can register my own URL scheme that uses my own streaming protocol? For example, say I wanted to make rtsp2://..., could I do something vaguely like:

class Rtsp2 : public QIODevice
{
    // open, read, seek, close, etc.
}

QCoreApplication::registerUrlProtocol("rtsp2", Rtsp2);

Thanks for your help! :)
