Ask a noob question, how is the url written?

[hilod]

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls
import QtMultimedia

ApplicationWindow{
    id:window
    visible: true


    MediaPlayer {
           id: player
           source: "file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/1.01 HARVESTELLA Main Theme.flac"
           audioOutput: AudioOutput {}
       }

       Component.onCompleted: {
           player.play()
       }
}

This format is the answer after I have searched, but he does not work. I also tried "\" instead of "/" and "file://" instead of "file:///".

Try \ instead of /.
/ is for Linux and Unix. Although QML should be able to handle it.
"file:///C:\Users\user\Downloads\1.01 HARVESTELLA Main Theme.flac"
I guess Windows did this on purpose and was not nice.

are you using Qt5 or Qt6? You have mixed import package versions. Windows guys may help you out. I would try to use QUrl class to define the url and then pass it to source. That would solve your problem.

@JoeCFD said in Ask a noob question, how is the url written?:

Try \ instead of /.

In Qt you can always use forward slashes for paths.

I also searched and others seem to use ffmpeg to decode to wav.

[JoeCFD]

wav file can be played back in Windows Media Player if the appropriate codecs are installed on the computer. The most common audio codecs that are used in . wav files include Microsoft Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (MS ADPCM) and uncompressed Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).
