Playing RTP stream on Windows with Qt 6.2

[fggd]

Hello,

I am trying to understand how can I play RTP video stream with QMediaPlayer, e.g. generated with GStreamer by running:

.\gst-launch-1.0.exe  videotestsrc ! 'video/x-raw,width=640,height=480' ! openh264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000

I tried passing simply passing url like:

  QMediaPlayer* player = ....
  player->setSource(QUrl("rtp://@127.0.0.1:5000"));

That didn't work. AFAIK QtMultimedia in ver 6.2 doesn't support GStreamer pipelines on Windows.
Is there a way to do it w/o custom GStreamer or libVLC based implementation?

Thank you
Filip

GStreamer is only used by Qt Multimedia on Linux.
Take a look at qt gstreamer.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

@fggd said in Playing RTP stream on Windows with Qt 6.2:

player->setSource(QUrl("rtp://@127.0.0.1:5000"));

This does not look like a valid URL. You should fix it first.

Hi @SGaist
In a fact I tried also
"rtp://127.0.0.1:5000"
"udp://127.0.0.1:5000"
without luck

Just found out this answer from Lars. Basically full cross-platform support for rtp/rtsp may come after 6.2.

One possible alternative is to rebuild QtMultimedia to use GStreamer.
