Can't play video on windows xp

Maybe your compiling links newer DX libs that not supporting xp. I would guess it is due to the DX lib when you compile Qt, as I said.
You mean i should install Directx9 on my windows7, remove all other DirectX versions and compile qt5.6.3 again?

You may be able to compile only the dsengine plugin.
But I don't know how to make sure you link the xp supported DX lib, since I don't target xp for at least 5 years... -

Hi, one other thing I saw in the dependency walker's output, it wants the Qt files from another Qt directory on your XP machine:
c:\tools\neovim\neovim\binMake sure that this other version exists and is also Qt 5.6.3 Release for MSVC 2013.

Hello. I have some questions:- Why application loads these
.dllsfrom that weird directory instead of current directory of my application? (I usedwindeployqt) - Lets say, i fixed it. Do it fix main issue?(Showing video)
- Why application loads these

Hi
1: Ask Windows :) It is its run time loader that controls this.
2: It could fix it. However, the normal effect of mixing Qt version is crashes so
dont get to much hope up.@mrjj I mean why it didn't look in current directory first, if it looked why doesn't load it? Since those dlls exists beside main exe file.
I noticed that on windows xp that doesn't have this directory(
c:\tools\neovim\neovim\bin\), DependencyWalker complains that it can't find dlls:

Well back in the Xp days they didn't load better i guess.
In the newer version of windows, you can add a manifest file to tweaking it and at some point they also allowed
side by side loading of Dlls with same name etc.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-search-orderwell (c:\tools\neovim\neovim\bin) seems just to be
https://github.com/neovim/neovim
but it does uses Qt for GUI .Hmm so the DSENGINE cannot find its support DLLS ?
those missing files are in your app folder ?Is there a reason you cant use a virtual machine with Xp (or real pc ) to install Qt5.6
and what ever compiler you wish and simply compile and xp version for xp.
And compile a win 7+ on win 7 ?
Im not 100% sure you can have a one .exe that works on both as the backend changed alot. -

It works on xp?

Exactly.
Is there a reason you cant use a virtual machine with Xp (or real pc ) to install Qt5.6 and what ever compiler you wish and simply compile and xp version for xp.
I tried to compile qt 5.5.0 on windos xp.(It's a virtualbox machine). It complains about some functions that only exists on x64 architecture.
Im not 100% sure you can have a one .exe that works on both as the backend changed alot.
So, you mean i should compile whole application in each os separately?

I think so but not sure if it can help you load the right dlls.

But Qt5.6 still supports Xp so why compile your self? You add something ? -

Well that is how a few people I know still do - to have xp version. Its only SP3 Xp's that works but I guess
all remaining xp's are patched.
It might be less work than to make sure it links to older directX in newer windows. (if thats even possible)
