Cant play sound on Windows 7 [Solved]

[ferrazrafael]

Im using this code to play a sound file on linux, and it work. But in windows 7 it doesnt. Any one knows why?
@
Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject = Phonon::createPlayer(Phonon::NoCategory, Phonon::MediaSource("sound.ogg"));
mediaObject->play();
delete mediaObject;

do you have "ogg" multimedia codec installed on your windows?

[andre]

Do you expect mediaObject to live long enough this way to actually do anything? You create the player, and then immediately destroy it again. I would not expect that to work...

[ferrazrafael]

Yes I have ogg, and I tested with .wav and dont work.
Andre, This is just a simplified test case, in my real code delete is not so close from createplayer().

Sorry, hard to judge your real problem without seeing your real code.

I discovered why isnt working, Im using .qrc file to store my audio files and playing by it like this

@
Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject = Phonon::createPlayer(Phonon::NoCategory,
Phonon::MediaSource(":/sound.ogg"));
mediaObject->play();
@

In linux it work, in windows it only work if I set the MediaSource like this

@
Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject = Phonon::createPlayer(Phonon::NoCategory, Phonon::MediaSource("./sound.ogg"));

this dont need to be reported as a bug? since it work in on way on windows and another in linux?

[andre]

You could report it, yes. That might be a good idea.
It is a weird issue. The latter version should not use the resource at all.

This is a pity, I liked the way qt make sounds builtin the app

[mohsen]

it should be fixed. not good idea on using #ifdef OS for a syntax like this!
