Cross-platforum embedded video player ?

[maximus]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at a widget that can play video inside a QT application, i'm using QT 5.1.1
So far I found this one :
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/phonon-videoplayer.html
I can't find it inside designer though, can you only add it programmatically?

Is there any other video player out there? It would be for playing .mp4, .avi and maybe other format.
Thanks!

Hi,

Have a look at the "multimedia module":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtmultimedia/multimediaoverview.html it should contain what you need

I tried the demo I just posted.
It works fine for most video file, however, some are not supported due to codecs and stuff like that.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel so I was thinking of using VLC media player, a robust and good video player

I'll try that receipe and report back if it works ;)

You're welcome but I don't expect to live that long :-D

The codecs supported depends on the platform and the backend used

I tried VLC-QT, a really good solution! the easiest in my opinion :

One last thing, I would like to use VLC interface, vlc is open source, but I can't seem to find their GUI (it is written in QT). I would like to use their sound widget, the progress bar, and play button who looks nice.

Here is my current video player :

Sure Qt does, it's maybe in their git repository
