h.264 license for playing video in Qt Multimedia / Qt WebEngine QML

We are considering purchasing H.264 license for vide playback in our QML app.
Before do that, we have few questions re h.264 license for playing video in Qt Multimedia / Qt WebEngine QML

is h.264 license needed for playing video in both Qt Multimedia and Qt WebEngine QML or just Qt WebEngine ?
based on https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimedia-qmlmodule.html, during QT build we do need to just add "-webengine-proprietary-codecs" param to configure phase. Is that all it is needed to build Qt for proprietary codecs ?
can you point me to any document explaining how to register license on our raspberry Pi based platform ?
any suggestion where to get h.264 license (https://www.mpegla.com or https://x264.org/en/ or ...) for our Qt based video playback ?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hi,

Did you consider using http://www.openh264.org/ ?

@SGaist thanks for response.
Assume we use http://www.openh264.org/, I guess we would compile it for our Raspberry Pi based platform.
Correct ?
Are there steps to configure QT (or underlying libs) to use newly compiled openh264 codec ?
