Using Gstreamer

Vi67

Hello,

I would like to test the new gst-pipeline.

I tried a simple qml as described in MediaPlayer.

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15
import QtMultimedia 5.15

Window {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    Item {
        anchors.fill: parent

        MediaPlayer {
            id: mediaplayer
            source: "gst-pipeline: videotestsrc ! qtvideosinks"
            onError: {
                console.log(errorString);
            }
        }

        VideoOutput {
            anchors.fill: parent
            source: mediaplayer
        }
    }
}

I tried for both kits :

Desktop Qt 5.15.1 clang 64bit
Qt 5.15.1 for iOS Simulator

And I get the same error :

qml: Failed to load media

Did I miss something ?
Thanks

Hi,

From the looks of it you are trying to run that on macOS and iOS so it will not work. GStreamer is the backend for Linux.

Therefore, unless you built GStreamer and the corresponding plugin for your platform, you will not be able to use these custom pipelines.
