Qmediaplayer on windows xp

[great88]

I get no sound on windows xp using qmediaplayer . Works on windows 7 just fine . I put mediaservice plugin in my application directory .

Any other plugins I am missing ?

Is this a driver issue ? The audio files I want to play are mp3 and they run fine under windows media player and also vlc on windows xp . I tried newest Audio driver ( SB X-Fi ) and still no sound with QmediaPlayer .

Should I try another Audio framework ? Looks like I am not having much luck with QMediaPlayer on windows xp . I also tried QSoundEffect but can't get anything to play with that on any Operating System .

Hi,

Connect the "QMediaPlayer::error() signal":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtmultimedia/qmediaplayer.html#error-2 to a slot that prints the error, then add your MP3 file to the player. Do you see anything?

Thank you for this suggestion . I will try it out and let you know .

The error message I printed out using errorString() is
"The QmediaPlayer object does not have a valid service ."

I have mediaservice directory in my application directory .

The mediaservice directory has the following files :
dsengine.dll
qtmedia_audioengine.dll
wmfengine.dll

And it appears to work fine on my Windows 7 machines . Just not on the windows xp .

Googling this I found :
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28881

It appears I need to compile the directshow plugin .

If there is anything else I am missing , let me know .

No , this is a dead end . This just compiles the dsengine.dll which I already have in the mediaservice directory .

I tried moving to plugins/mediaservice or just in the windows/system32 directory and still doesn't work .

Any other ideas ?

I don't work with Windows XP, sorry.

Yeah , that's ok . I've decided my app just won't support XP . No big deal .
Thanks for your efforts .
