QML Camera problem


  • Hello,

    I have problems trying to use the QML QtMultimedia Camera but the program just crashes and displays a Messagebox:

    bq. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.

    The Application Output window displays the message:

    bq. QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget without QApplication
    Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function.
    Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function.
    D:\Qt\Programs\build-untitled5-Desktop_Qt_5_1_0_MinGW_32bit-Release\release\untitled5.exe exited with code 3

    Here's the program:

    @import QtQuick 2.0
    import QtMultimedia 5.0

    Rectangle {
    width: 360
    height: 360
    color: "lightgrey"

    Camera {
    id: bla
}

    }
    @

    I can't seem to find anything on this problem. The webcam works fine. The platform is Win7 x64 and Qt 5.1 with MinGW.

    First problem are problably some missing dependencies, search for it: I've seen it happen to many people before with MinGW. I don't know the solution myself, I'm mostly on Linux.

    For the second one, please post relevant parts of your code, especially where your main() function is.

  • Dependencies? I didn't think this could happen if the program is run from QtCreator. I know it can happen if I try to run the program outside of QtCreator, but this is not what I'm doing.

    As for the code, I didn't change anything from what Qt generates for a Qt Quick 2 program.

    Something is clearly wrong. I won't help you by using my magic wand, though. You either need to check it yourself, or post more info...

  • This is a coincidence. I just ran into this one myself. Make sure that in your driver main.cpp the app is a QApplication, NOT a QGuiApplication. Oddly, a QGuiApplication will work in Linux, but not under Win7. I think it probably has to do with what kind of widget gets generated for the underlying camera interface, i.e. DirectShow in Windows.

  • main.cpp

    @#include <QtGui/QGuiApplication>
    #include "qtquick2applicationviewer.h"

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])

    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    QtQuick2ApplicationViewer viewer;
viewer.setMainQmlFile&#40;QStringLiteral("qml/untitled5/main.qml"&#41;);
viewer.showExpanded();

    If your application uses the Qt Mobility libraries, uncomment the following

    lines and add the respective components to the MOBILITY variable.

    CONFIG += mobility

    MOBILITY +=

    The .cpp file which was generated for your project. Feel free to hack it.

    SOURCES += main.cpp

    Please do not modify the following two lines. Required for deployment.

    In addition to switching from QGuiApplication to QApplication, it's also necessary to add QT += widgets to the .pro file.
