video can't no play under QT5.8.0,mp3 plays well

[JiujiuTong]

@SGaist
thank you . by the way , for my case, does it mean that the QT multimedia module has bugs?

[SGaist]

Not necessarily, you should check with the gstreamer utils if the files you are interested in can be played.

Multimedia is a complex matter and if you are missing one codec you might get errors like that one so you have to ensure that you really have all plugin packages installed and avoid proprietary formats when possible.

@SGaist
i have confirmed that the files can be played by gstreamer utils:gst-play-1.0.
and from the logs it seems that gstreamer works well
libva info: VA-API version 0.39.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_39
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0.

Thank you for your great support!

[SGaist]

Can you check which version of gstreamer is linked to the backend ?

so it is gstreamer1.0 linked , is it right?

[jsulm]

@JiujiuTong Yes, looks like 1.0

[JiujiuTong]

@jsulm @SGaist
thank you , but why video can't play? the file is OK... can you help me to figure it out?

[JiujiuTong]

@JiujiuTong said in video can't no play under QT5.8.0,mp3 plays well:

@jsulm @SGaist
thank you , but why video can't play? the file is OK... can you help me to figure it out?

@SGaist , it seems linked gstreamer version is 1.0. any ideas to check why video can't play with QT5.8?

[SGaist]

Enable the QtMultimedia logging category, that might give you more information.

[JiujiuTong]

@SGaist
can you give me more details please? for example, how to enable the QtMultimedia logging category.thank you

[SGaist]

See QLoggingCategory with qt.multimedia

[JiujiuTong]

@SGaist
thank you very much
