    I'm just jumping back into qt and wanting to start a new project with 6. It looks like the Qt Multimedia Widgets Modules where removed. Is there a current alternative to playing video with audio?

      Hi,

      It's not removed, it should be back in a later release. See here.

      In between you can try with VLC.

      Or just stay with Qt 5 and port the application to Qt 6 when all the modules you need are there.

        Qt multimedia will be back in Qt 6.2

        https://www.qt.io/blog/add-on-support-in-qt-6.0-and-beyond

        I'm not playing video in my app, but i play sound.
        So, since multimedia is missing i'm playing them using liballegro

        https://liballeg.org/

        I think the library can play video also.
