Arm-linux play media fail

Mihan

@sgaist BTW, I can play the mp3 file by mplayer

SGaist

What distribution are you using on your device ?

Mihan

@sgaist
Sorry, I'm new to the embedded, I'm not sure what the distribution means. Is the core board on the device? It's NXP ARM 7 cortex-A9. Or the system version? It's Arm-linux kernel 4.1.15.

SGaist

I mean what Linux distribution are you running on the device ?

Mihan

@SGaist
Linux distribution refers to Ubuntu or CentOS? If yes, I just know I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on VMWare on PC. Is NXP also a Linux distribution?
I got this message by uname -a :

root@imx6qsabresd:~# uname -a
Linux imx6qsabresd 4.1.15 #9 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 23 10:07:29 CST 2019 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

Is this what you need？

SGaist

No, NXP is not a Linux distribution, it's a semiconductor manufacturer.

Do you have somewhere in the documentation provided some information about the software stack running on your device ?

Mihan

@sgaist
As far as I know, we can get the Linux distribution from /etc/issue.net or /proc/version. But the content is

cat /etc/issue.net 
Freescale i.MX Release Distro 4.1.15-2.1.0 %h

cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.1.15 (vmuser@Linux-host) (gcc version 5.3.0 (GCC) ) #9 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 23 10:07:29 CST 2019

I think they had been changed by Freescale, so I can't know the original distribution. Or maybe I can get it from customer service or their forum.

@sgaist Now I want to cross-compile again, and I got a new ubuntu to do it following Building Qt 5 from Git. When configuring, it couldn't checking for GStreamer: GStreamer support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!. What should I do?

Maybe I know what Linux distribution the Freescale use, it's Yocto!

SGaist

You need the GStreamer development packages installed.

@sgaist I use QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS to see the output:

QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/usr/lib/qt5/plugins/mediaservice" ...
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() looking at "/usr/lib/qt5/plugins/mediaservice/libqtmedia_audioengine.so"

}

defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"

Does it mean it's running without some plugins?
Also I ready to compile qt-gstreamer, cus I have installed GStreamer on Ubuntu bysudo apt-get install, but it doesn't work:

checking for GStreamer 1.0... 
Project WARNING: pkg-config disabled, can't check package existence
Project ERROR: gstreamer-1.0 development package not found
GStreamer 1.0 disabled.
checking for GStreamer 0.10... 
Project WARNING: pkg-config disabled, can't check package existence
Project ERROR: gstreamer-0.10 development package not found
GStreamer 0.10 disabled.
GStreamer support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!

So I use sudo find / -name *gstreamer*-dev* to find the development packet:

vmuser@Linux-host:~/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.2$ sudo find / -name *gstreamer*-dev*

/usr/share/doc/libgstreamer-vaapi0.10-dev
/usr/share/doc/libgstreamer0.10-dev

, and I add all these path into $PATH, it also doesn't work
(Project WARNING: pkg-config disabled, can't check package existence Project ERROR: gstreamer-1.0 development package not found)
.

Or should I find the code to cross-compiler the GStreamer and export PKG_CONFIG_PATH for configure?

Thank you so much for your support~

QtGStreamer is not an official Qt module and unrelated to QtMultimedia.

You should rather use GStreamer 1.0.

Are you sure these are installed and not just downloaded ?

Mihan

@sgaist Ok, a bit messy now, let's tidy up first.
I only use QMediaPlayer to play a music.
On Ubuntu(VMWare), it's working without any error message.
But on Arm-Linux(yocto, provided by NXP, maybe), it doesn't work with error message:
defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"
If Qt Multimedia doesn't relate to Qt GStreamer but the basic GStreamer, how can I check whether the device support Qt Multimedia or not, cus I can play mp3 by mplayer, I can find the basic GStreamer(gstreamer 1.0 )on the device.
Or do you have other suggestion to play music with adjusting volume and schedule, cus QSound can not adjust these attributes; QAudioOutput must set any other attributes(sample rate and channel); QSoundEffect can not adjust schedule.
BTW, could QMediaPlayer play the wav file?
Also, I ran the example /usr/share/qt5/examples/multimedia/imxplayer/imxplayer,it 's a Qt5 demo media palyer integrated with freescale Gstreamer 1.0 framework for X11 graphics.

root@imx6qsabresd:~# /usr/share/qt5/examples/multimedia/imxplayer/imxplayer 
** Message: GStreamer version 1.8.1

It can find the basic GStreamer.

SGaist

If it's yocto based, then there's likely packages that you can enable in the recipe.
