    for(int i = 0; i<videoPlaylist.size(); i++)
    {
            videoPlayer->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(videoPlaylist.at(i)));
            videoPlayer->setMuted(true);
            videoPlayer->play();
            videoPlayer->setVolume(0);
            videoWidget->showFullScreen();
            while (videoPlayer->state() == QMediaPlayer::PlayingState)
            {
                 QCoreApplication::processEvents(QEventLoop::AllEvents, 100);
            }
    }
    
    

    So I have this for loop where I iterate through each QString from the QStringList and put the file name to the pointer to the object of QMediaPlayer as the media. Then I play the file as and try to mute the volume using two different attempts. Yet, in some videos there is no sound, while in others there is a sound. Why is such unpredictable nature? The videos are .mp4. Does it have to do anything with the codec? FYI, I tried to use setVolume() and setMuted() individually as well, but even then the unpredictability persists. The program is running on Ubuntu 14.04.

    Thanks.

      This is happening to random videos or same videos for everytime?

      Perhaps you can try this in a different OS (Windows may be) to see if this is a platform specific issue.
