Solved How to set the first frame of a video file
-
The example of video player can set video file play to the beginning. But it is a black screen with null state. I would like to show a picture like playing a video in youtube. How to display the first frame of the video?

Hi,
You likely should get an image after 1 second rather than trying to get the first frame. Videos do not necessarily start with something at frame 0.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I played 300ms and paused it. It is OK now.

300ms is not a good solution. Better to show the thumnail frame. But not sure how to find its position
-
It's too short in any case.
The file does not necessarily contain such meta data.
You might be able to get something through QMediaObject::metaData but no guarantee.

Thanks for your idea. I might have short videos.
