QMediaPlayer from memory only?

@SGaist said in QMediaPlayer from memory only?:
GStreamer
but aren't custom GStreamer pipelines out of scope for Qt6 ? i'm not investing in something that is dead.
-
I was not aware of this.
Note that, IIRC, GStreamer has a QtQuick plugin so it might also be an alternative.
-
In that link, it says "Out-of-scope ... Custom G-streamer pipelines".
also note i'm using Qt Widgets and have no intention to ever use QtQuick.

I saw it and I think that's a bad idea since it allows to access a larger set of media that way.
-
it's definitely a bad idea, for the reason you said.
clearly i can't invest in something that won't pan out. :(
oh well, i guess i'm stuck. -
You can add your weight to push for keeping the feature alive.
-
how do i do that?

You can add a comment explaining your use case and other that you may have that requires custom GStreamer pipelines.

Say i have an mp4 file that is encrypted on disk, and must stay encrypted. I wish to load that file into RAM, decrypt it there, then send it to QMediaPlayer, using the QBuffer method. How do i tell the
setMediafunction its mime type? It apparently STILL NEEDS the file to be unencrypted on disk in order to determine its type? Is there a way to fake up aQUrlor aQMediaContentwith the correct info and pass that in? How do i avoid using the disk for this? Note this is cross platform mac/win so there is no "simple ramdisk" i could create to fake up a file system.
