How put in a Loop a video

Ratataplam

Hi folks,

I want reproduce a video continuously and to do that I try to put in service a playlist with a single item a set Loop attribute but also the single reproduction fails and I don't understand why.
Here my code :

videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
    player = new QMediaPlayer;
    playlist = new QMediaPlaylist(player);
    playlist->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/root/textmp4.mp4"));
    qDebug() << "playlist error: " << playlist->error();
    player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);
    // player->setMedia(QUrl("gst-pipeline: multifilesrc location=textmp4.mp4 ! decodebin ! waylandsink name=\"qtvideosink\""));
    videoWidget->show();
    playlist->setCurrentIndex(1);
    player->play();
    qDebug() << "mediaStatus: " << player->mediaStatus() << "error: " << player->error();

any suggestion ? Thanks

Hi,

What happens ?
Which error are you getting ?

@SGaist The problem is that the video doesn't start

What does your qDebug() output, don't you think you should tell us?
What does playlist->currentIndex() return?
Is the parameter of 1 correct for setCurrentIndex(1) with your single addMedia() call (I do not know)?
After your code do you allow the Qt event loop to run?
Should you slot onto other signals like loadFailed()?
