QVideoWidget not showing video

musimbate

Hi,
I was playing with QtMultimedia and I thought the next piece of code should show the video

@

//VIDEO PLAYING .....

QMediaPlayer *player = new QMediaPlayer;
QMediaPlaylist *playlist = new QMediaPlaylist(player);
playlist->addMedia(QUrl("E:/karamage.avi"));
playlist->addMedia(QUrl("E:/karamage1.avi"));

QVideoWidget *videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);

playlist->setCurrentIndex(1);
player->play();

//VIDEO PLAYING ENDS HERE.

//WE DEAL WITH LAYOUTS HERE
QVBoxLayout * mLayout=new QVBoxLayout();
mLayout->addWidget(videoWidget);
setLayout(mLayout);

//LAYOUT HANDLING ENDS HERE.

@

But when I run the application ,I simply see an empty widget .I feel I missed sth and I would appreciate it if you helped me point it out.I apologize if this is obvious.(I am jut getting started with Multimedia programming) .

My setup: Windows8.1/ Qt 5.2 / VS2012

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Check the console output, it might be some missing codecs (avi is only a container and can have many things in it)
