    I play rtsp video with QMediaPlayer(Qt5.6.2). There is some latency on my machine. But when I play the video with gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc, it is better. So I want to replace playbin with rtspsrc in QtMultiMedia.
    I simply change the macro "QT_GSTREAMER_PLAYBIN_ELEMENT_NAME" in src/multimedia/gsttools_headers/qgstutils_p.h from "playbin" to "rtspsrc". But it is not so simple. QtMediaPlayer would not play anything. Could someone tell me how to do this?

      Hi,

      If you want to switch "on demand" you will have to implement that yourself.

        HAHA. Thank you! I am trying. Maybe I should not deprecate "playbin", I should use rtspsrc when playing rtsp video.
