Video loop glitch

[celica]

Hi Guys
My code to loop a background video is below which works fine.
When it gets to the end of the video and restarts there is a brief black screen before it resumes.
Is there any way to avoid this?
I was looking at this thread and it appears it may be a bug.

		QMediaPlaylist *aos_dm = new QMediaPlaylist;
		QMediaPlaylist *aos_nm = new QMediaPlaylist;
		aos_nm->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(QDir::currentPath() + "\\Resources\\videos\\nm_animation_1.mp4"));		
		aos_nm->setCurrentIndex(0);
		aos_nm->setPlaybackMode(aos_nm->Loop);

		aos_dm->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(QDir::currentPath() + "\\Resources\\videos\\dm_animation_1.mp4"));
		aos_dm->setCurrentIndex(0);
		aos_dm->setPlaybackMode(aos_dm->Loop);

		player->setPlaylist(aos_dm);

		videoWidget = new QVideoWidget(mstrWnd);
		player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);
		videoWidget->setGeometry(getSettingI(MSTR_APP_X).toInt(),					
			getSettingI(MSTR_APP_Y).toInt(),										
			getSettingI(MSTR_APP_WIDTH).toInt(),									
			getSettingI(MSTR_APP_HEIGHT).toInt());		
		videoWidget->show();
		player->play();

Hi,

You should add:

• Qt version
• OS version
• Video file specification

@SGaist Oh my dev machine is :
Windows 10
QT 5.12.2
Visual Studio 2017
There are 2 video files, both of MP4 type. (I've tried AVI as well)
All codecs installed, videos play fine, it is just on the loop restart there is a black screen for 0.5 second

I've executed the deployed app on a Windows 7 machine with the same outcome.

@celica Hi there, any one ever experience this issue & overcome before

Hello everyone,

I am actually experiencing the exact same issue, using Qt 5.15.2, on Win 10.
I have tried with *.webm and *.mp4 videos.
Tried using both :
QMediaPlaylist::Loop
QMediaPlaylist::CurrentItemInLoop

Both give the same "split second blackout" glitch.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
