Record Audio in Qt6

JonB

@QtAndrew
The QOverload<...>::of is to pick out a particular overload. The docs explain:

Note: Signal error is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:

See also https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtglobal.html#qOverload.

You should show the error message.

@JonB the examples are full of spelling mistakes. QOverload vs. qOverload. By the way, i am not able to put it into my example. Could it be that macos does not support the recording function?

Why not read the docs instead complaining for no reason? Both versions are valid and it's perfectly explained why there are two version. But looks like you're too lazy to read.

@QtAndrew
There are no spelling mistakes. qOverload is not the same as QOverload. The page I referred you to shows that, and shows examples.

By the way, i am not able to put it into my example.

Twice you have said "it doesn't work" or "getting an error". I have asked you to show your code and paste the error you get. How can we answer without those details?

    // RECORD
    QMediaCaptureSession* session = new QMediaCaptureSession();
    QAudioInput* audioInput = new QAudioInput();
    QMediaRecorder* recorder = new QMediaRecorder();
    session->setAudioInput(audioInput);
    session->setRecorder(recorder);
    recorder->setMediaFormat(QMediaFormat::Wave);
    recorder->setOutputLocation(QUrl::fromLocalFile("test"));
    recorder->setAudioSampleRate(48000);
    recorder->setAudioChannelCount(1);
    recorder->record();

    connect(recorder, QOverload<QMediaRecorder::Error>::of(&QMediaRecorder::error),

    QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
    connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), recorder, SLOT(stop()));

ERROR: 1.) Does not Record any audio but the file is created (macos ARM64)

@QtAndrew Since you're on Qt6 you should use https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/qmediarecorder.html#errorOccurred
And don't forget to print the error in the slot you connect to this signal.

@QtAndrew said in Record Audio in Qt6:

why does this code sniplet stand on 6.2 QMediaRecorder ?

It does not. This code snippet is in Qt5 documentation, not in Qt6. I noticed from your compile log that you're using Qt6.2 and provided you the link to Qt6 documentation.
Don't know what is unclear in the documentation...

I think i change the platorform.

Please do so. Maybe you find a toolkit where the version is automatically guessed by your browser when you search for help.

I tried:

1.) Threads
2.) Timers
3.) start the recording and connect the stop() to the player end of media slot.

no success...

void IRExtractor::on_sweepButton_clicked()
{
    // PLAY
    MyThread* t = new MyThread();
    t->start();

    // RECORD
    QMediaCaptureSession* session = new QMediaCaptureSession();
    QAudioInput* audioInput = new QAudioInput();
    QMediaRecorder* recorder = new QMediaRecorder();
    session->setAudioInput(audioInput);
    session->setRecorder(recorder);
    recorder->setMediaFormat(QMediaFormat::Wave);
    recorder->setOutputLocation(QUrl::fromLocalFile("test"));
    recorder->setAudioSampleRate(48000);
    recorder->setAudioChannelCount(1);
    recorder->record();
    QThread::msleep(3250);
    recorder->stop();
}

void MyThread::run()
{
    QMediaPlayer* player = new QMediaPlayer();
    QAudioOutput* audioOutput = new QAudioOutput;
    audioOutput->setVolume(0.1);
    player->setAudioOutput(audioOutput);
    player->setSource(QUrl("qrc:/res/sweep.wav"));
    player->play();

}

This version didn't play the audio.

I do not know know anything about this, so no point asking me any further! But from your code are you supposed to some error checking as per https://forum.qt.io/topic/130588/qmediaplay-stream-does-not-wokk/2 ?
