Hi,

Then why not use QMediaPlaylist::Sequential ?

Allaye

yea i used QMediaPlaylist::Sequential and it works but that not what i want, i want to be able to play a particular media from the playlist and stop

SGaist

Can you show the code you are currently using ? And describe the procedure you follow that you say is not working as expected ?

@SGaist

void MediaApp::on_actionRepeat_triggered()
{
		mpl->setPlaybackMode(QMediaPlaylist::PlaybackMode::CurrentItemOnce);
		ui.actionRepeat->setIcon(QIcon(":/MediaApp/Resources/onceloop.png"));
		ui.actionRepeat->setToolTip("Play This Media Only Once And Stop");
}

void MediaApp::on_actionNext_triggered()
{
	ui.statusBar->clearMessage();
	ui.statusBar->showMessage("Next Media Playing......", 20000);
	 mpl->next();
	 mp->play();
}

when i click on the Repeat button it is suppose to play the media once and stop which it does, but after clicking the repeat button i cant play the next media in the playlist it always repeat the current media it wont NEXT to the next media . that is the problem with the code

Taking a look at the documentation of nextIndex which is called by next, it's not unexpected. Looking at the implementation, it's exactly what is happening.

So if you want to go to the next item, change the playback mode, call next and put back the original playback mode.

For the gory details see:
