[SOLVED] QMediaPlayer won't play on other machine
-
Hello, I released media player with shared libraries... It works well on my PC... I installed Windows 7 (32 bit) and then Microsoft redistributable pack... Application run well but does not play file... There is nothing wrong with music file (.mp3) because Window Media Player can play it... I also tested on Windows 7 (64 bit) and won't play either... All functions work but it won't start playing music media nor video media...
I installed Qt on that Windows 7 machine and it play media without any problems when application is executed with Qt (Debug mode)...
It works perfect on Windows 8.1 (x64)
What am I missing???
-
I downloaded http://projects.tano.si/vlc-qt to Windows 7 and there is a test application in that download... When I run my song with that application it plays sound well... I guess there are some dlls missing in system and question is how and where to add them... And which dlls are missing...
-
Hi,
We can't know what's missing unless you tell us what you included!
Also, open your program using Dependency Walker. Click "Profile" -> "Start Profiling…" That usually tells you what DLLs you are missing.
-
Probably you forgot copy plugins?
mediaservice
playlistformats
Unfortunately Dependency walker can't detect missing plugins. -
Hello, these are my includes
icudt51.dll
icudt51.dll
icuu51.dll
libEGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5GUi.dll
Qt5Multimedia.dll
Qt5MultimediaWidgets.dll
Qt5Network.dll
Qt5OpenGL.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
MPlayer.exe
platforms
pluginsI also included plugins (mediaservices, playlistformats) in file next to MPlayer.exe did not work
Then I added folder "plugins" and included them there - did not work
In the end I included plugins in "plugins/mediaservices" and "plugins/playlistformats" and did not work either...Application always starts and all settings works but it just won't start playing any kind of media...
As I said it works on two windows 8 systems, but does not work on windows 7...
-
Hello again...
I built app on that fresh new Windows 7 and result is same... Media won't start playing... I really don't know what else to try... Works in QtCreator but does not work as standalone app...
-
Try these instructions on your Windows 7 machine: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Deploy_an_Application_on_Windows
-
Oh thanks... Problem is solved... Mediaservices and Playlist formats plugins were missing...
I included files from these two folders on all possible ways, but never really just copied these two folders next to my app...
I have tried this and did not work...
appFolder/plugins/mediaservices
appFolder/mediaservices and playlistformat .dll
appFolder/plugins/mediaservices and playlistformat .dllNow I followed steps from link above and put plugin folders next to app and it worked...
appFolder/mediaservices
appFolder/playlistformats -
Hello again... I just noticed that my video player is not working... Audio files are fixed now but video won't play... Also video won't play in QtCreator either... Am I missing some codecs??? Video file works in Windows Media Player...
I am getting following error:
The format of a media resource isn't (fully) supported. Playback may still be possible, but without an audio or video component.I used .mp4 and .avi files...
-
What version of Qt are you using? Which compiler?
-
Latest version of Qt and MSVC 2012 and Windows 7
Video works on my Windows 8 system in QtCreator and as standalone app... But in Windows 7 does not work...
-
Ok... what type of video is it? What error messages do you get? (When you run the program from Qt Creator, see the "Application Output" tab)
-
.mp4 .avi
I am getting following error:
The format of a media resource isn’t (fully) supported. Playback may still be possible, but without an audio or video component.I found on google http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21458581/playing-videos-with-qmediaplayer-qvideowidget-in-qt5-2
It might be OpenGL problem... I am runing it on a virtual machine without any video drivers... But why would then GOM player and Windows Media Player work there??? Also application requires OpenGL.dll to work... I will install Windows 7 without virtual machine and test it...
EDIT: WMV video plays on virtual machine...

It might be OpenGL problem…[/quote]Yes, possibly. The StackOverflow post you found said that OpenGL 2.1 or higher is needed. However, Windows only supports OpenGL 1.1. You need a physical machine and install graphics drivers to get better OpenGL support.[quote]But why would then GOM player and Windows Media Player work there???[/quote]Probably because they don't use OpenGL. (I don't know the details though)
[quote]Also application requires OpenGL.dll to work[/quote]I don't understand. You said you're using 32-bit Windows with MSVC 2012.
However, from http://qt-project.org/downloads , the 32-bit MSVC 2012 package -- which is "Qt 5.2.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2012, 541 MB)" -- does NOT use OpenGL.
Can you please re-confirm: Which Qt package did you download?
[quote]I will install Windows 7 without virtual machine and test it…[/quote]I believe that should work if you install graphics drivers that support OpenGL 2.1 or higher.
Alternatively, try using "Qt 5.2.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2012, 541 MB)" to build your project in your virtual Windows 7.

Installed Windows 7 on physical PC and everything works fine...
About Qt Package you are right... I forgot I installed few weeks ago Qt 5.2.0 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2010, OpenGL, 517 MB)...

bq. Installed Windows 7 on physical PC and everything works fine...
It worked on physical PC... Seems like problem was in virtual PC and OpenGL...
-
[quote author="Anonymous" date="1391813300"]It worked on physical PC... Seems like problem was in virtual PC and OpenGL...[/quote]Yes. Which is why I asked, did you try the non-OpenGL version of Qt in your virtual machine? That might play the video.
- This uses OpenGL: "Qt 5.2.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2010, OpenGL, 517 MB)"
- This doesn't use OpenGL: "Qt 5.2.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2010, 518 MB)"
