QMediaPlayer connect signal from its started ffmpeg backend

[zedmatrix]

I have a iheart stream opened using QMediaPlayer, and the QMediaMetaData shows nothing and had to initiate a special ffmpeg routine just to retrieve the metadata, and when QMediaPlayer is open and playing a HLS Stream it shows this info >

But none of the signals from QMediaPlayer::error or ::mediaStatus or ::metadataAvailable are empty. I think this is from the ffmpeg started by the player function but haven't found a way to connect to it?

I don't understand this sentence. QMediaPlayer::error and mediaStatus aren't signals. You can find the related signals here. What do you mean by "are empty"? What is an empty signal?

I think this is from the ffmpeg started by the player function but haven't found a way to connect to it?

What's "this"?

Maybe you wanna rephrase your question into something easier to understand.
