To play mp4 and avi you need qtdemux and avidemux plugins.
They are part of gst-plugins-good0.10.
To make sure that you have bot installed run
@
gst-inspect-0.10 qtdemux
gst-inspect-0.10 avidemux

gstreamer is a core framework that provides a mechanism to build a media pipeline. The plugins do all job inside the pipeline. So if you don't have correct plugings gstreamer will not work.

Yeah problem may be on qtdemux how can I active it?

Thanks.

I couldnt find qtdemux on buildroot ,
What can be the correct configuration on buildroot to play video with Qt Phonon.?

Ümit.

[umtkyck]

Ok I found the solution , qtdemux is "isomp4" plugin.

The biggest problem now is video is playing very slow and ,its color is really bad.How can I fix it ?

Ümit.

[umtkyck]

With gst-launch it plays well but with Qt qmediaplayer video plays very slowly.How can I solve this?

What HW are you working on?
Do you output directly to FB? If yes, do you use directFB?

[umtkyck]

I am working on MX53 and application is working on FB , I can use DirectFB but is it lightweighter than FB? Video is playing , but very slow and CPU is at ps.
May problem be on phonon and its backend.?

[McLion]

I have never worked with MX53.
MX53 does have graphic accelerator. Are you using freescale drivers to make use of them, maybe in combination with directFB?

[umtkyck]

Problem still occurs... I want to use mplayer instead of gstreamer how can I change phonon backend from libphonon_gstreamer.so to libphonon_mplayer.so.?

Hi!
We have the same problem here and has struggled for a few weeks for playing video on our i.mx6 sabresd board running qt4-embedded. Even though we have already put isomp4 lib inside the plugins folder, we still cannot make the video playback work. Could you kindly share you experience? Thanks!
