QMediaPlayer cdda

Hi All,

I can't seem to find how to play an audio cd with the QMediaPlayer library, in QT 4 phonon was able to do this, but in QT 5 this was deprecated.

Any suggestions more then welcome!

Thanks

Does anybody have any ideas concerning this issue?

just checked "QMediaplayer":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmediaplayer.html and doesn't saw anything saying that is deprecated, so i presume that is ok for use.

phonon is deprecated, it is no longer included and does not compile with qt5

i'm trying to find out how to play an audio cd with the QMediaPlayer library in Qt 5

well.. searching on package manager on linux you can find libphonon4qt5-4 nad others...

@
multimedia framework from KF5 - core library

Phonon is the Qt multimedia API, which provides a task-oriented abstraction
layer for capturing, mixing, processing, and playing audio and video content.

This package contains the core library of the Phonon cross-platform multimedia
framework from KDE. It is required to run applications that use Phonon.

This package is for the version compiled for Qt 5.@

so i think that you can get a phonon for qt5

ok, thanks for the pointers everyone

libphonon4qt5 was not included in debian, so had to compile from scratch.
also compiled the vlc backend, for this i had to compile vlc also, because the libvlc included in the repositories (unstable) crashed the application on boot (memory access failure)

playing cd's with the phonon+vlc backend in q5 works now, but not listing the amount of tracks available, for this i had to use the libcdio.

everything works like a charm now, thanks everyone!
