How to use Qmediaplaylist to add all the audio files from a directory?

[Ronak5]

Hello,
instead of adding individual audio files like playlist->addMedia(QUrl("http://example.com/movie1.mp4"));

How can I add complete audio files from a directory in QmediaPlaylist?

[VRonin]

QDirIterator it(QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::MusicLocation).first(),{QStringLiteral(".mp4"),QStringLiteral(".mp3"),QStringLiteral(".wav"),QStringLiteral(".flac")},QDir::Files|QDir::Readable,QDirIterator::NoIteratorFlags);
while (it.hasNext()) {
it.next();
playlist->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(it.filePath()));
}

@VRonin thanks for quick response.
bit this isn't working. What if I intend to provide an absolute path?

Well, then use the absolute path:

QDirIterator it("YOUR_PATH_HERE",{QStringLiteral(".mp4"),QStringLiteral(".mp3"),QStringLiteral(".wav"),QStringLiteral(".flac")},QDir::Files|QDir::Readable,QDirIterator::NoIteratorFlags);
while (it.hasNext()) {
it.next();
playlist->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(it.filePath()));
}

If it is not working then please say what exactly is not working.

@jsulm hey thanks, I tried both now.
But I'm getting an error after that..

I added few files using:

QDir directory("/home/guest/Music");
QStringList musicFiles = directory.entryList(QStringList() << "*.mp3" << "*.MP3",QDir::Files|QDir::Readable);

foreach(QString filename, musicFiles){
    playlist->addMedia(QMediaContent(QUrl::fromLocalFile(filename)));

GStreamer; Unable to pause - "file:bensound-anewbeginning.mp3"
Error: "Could not open resource for reading."

What am I missing here? Is there any permission i need here.

Could you replace playlist->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(it.filePath())); with

if(!playlist->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(it.filePath())))
qDebug() << it.filePath();

And post the output?

[Ronak5]

@VRonin hey, while debug I figured it.hasNext() is being returned as false.
and so no files have been added in playlist.

[jsulm]

@Ronak5 Can you show the code you have now?

[Ronak5]

@jsulm
So now I'm working with this. I had added absolute path in this line to add files (QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/guest/Music/"+filename)));

QDir directory("/home/guest/Music");
QStringList musicFiles = directory.entryList(QStringList() << " *.mp3" << " *.MP3",QDir::Files|QDir::Readable);

foreach(QString filename, musicFiles){
    playlist->addMedia(QMediaContent(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/guest/Music/"+filename)));
}

With this I'm able to add files now and perform operations on it.

Hi,

Shouldn't that be:

QStringList() << "*.mp3" << "*.MP3"

?

@SGaist
hi, yes it is. it was an editor issue. A space helped it. Thanks for edit.
