    Hi,

    I am not using QML. Here are the important code snippets:
    @MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    {
    ui->setupUi(this);

    player =  new QMediaPlayer;
    player->setVideoOutput(ui->videoWidget);
    ui->videoWidget->show();
    

    }

    void MainWindow::onActionOpen()
    {
    QString file = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open Video File"), ".");
    if(file.isEmpty())
    return;

    player->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(file));
    player->setVolume(50);
    player->play();
    

    }@

    ui->videoWidget is of type QVideoWidget
    On my Ubuntu 14.04 64bit host everything works fine. Qt is version 4.8.6 for host and 4.8.5 for target. QtMobility is 1.2.0 for both.

      -Oh okay, your thread is in the QtQuick(QML)-section so i thought you did it with QML-. Well, how do you position your MediaPlayer?

      My bad, this thread is a few months old and you are not OP. Still, i will try to help you trough your problem even if i haven't worked with the QMediaPlayer so far.

              Have you tried to re-position your videoWidget after you started playing a video?

                  How am I supposed to do that? The Widget is part of a layout. setGeometry() has no effect.

                      Sorry, my bad, haven't read the layouts part. Well, in that case: Have you tried positioning it without a layout? Does that work? And have you tried playing with the horizontal and vertical settings of the widget?

                          See "QTBUG-42721":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-42721

                          I raised this as an issue with iOS video placement (using the QML VideoOutput, but it presumably sits on the same underlying code as the C++ ) a week or so ago which sounds like it's the same as hailong's problem. If it helps identify it's the same thing:

                          • It came in with Qt5.3.2; I never saw the problem on 5.3.1.
                          • If you rotate the device while the video is playing, it'll move to where you expect it to! (At least until the video ends; if you have it set up to loop, it might move back to the top corner again).

                              Well, then I guess it is not the same problem as I am using Qt 4.8.5.

                                  At least in my case it seems to be a problem of gsteramer and not Qt. I was able to reproduce the problem using gst-launch:
                                  @# gst-launch -v videotestsrc ! xvimagesink@
                                  When I use ximagesink it works perfectly fine.

                                      wow, so many replies on my thread, I feel so happy that more and more people are using Qt for cross-platform app development.

                                      I could't not solve my problem on September even if I had done a lot of research on that, so I used one week to learn how to develop for IOS and rewrited the hole app using Obj-C.

                                          I already tracked it down to a problem in X server or the kernel.
                                          I know that it is caused by a change in the X server but I don't know which change and if this change is ok for newer kernels.
