Video element plays video at wrong position on IOS

hailong

I want to write a video player for IOS, when I put a video element and set the media source, it plays very well except for that, the video surface is on the top left, not the position I put the video element. I have used a Rectangle to test the Video element is at the right Position.

Is this a bug?

Hi,

did you solved this issue? I have exactly the same problem - except that I am on an embedded ARM machine running Yocto/Poly Linux.

Hey,

could you please provide us the video-component code you are using in your QML file?

Hi,

I am not using QML. Here are the important code snippets:
@MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

player =  new QMediaPlayer;
player->setVideoOutput(ui->videoWidget);
ui->videoWidget->show();

}

void MainWindow::onActionOpen()
{
QString file = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open Video File"), ".");
if(file.isEmpty())
return;

player->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile&#40;file&#41;);
player->setVolume(50);
player->play();

}@

ui->videoWidget is of type QVideoWidget
On my Ubuntu 14.04 64bit host everything works fine. Qt is version 4.8.6 for host and 4.8.5 for target. QtMobility is 1.2.0 for both.

-Oh okay, your thread is in the QtQuick(QML)-section so i thought you did it with QML-. Well, how do you position your MediaPlayer?

My bad, this thread is a few months old and you are not OP. Still, i will try to help you trough your problem even if i haven't worked with the QMediaPlayer so far.

I have an UI file where I have a few buttons and also the QVideoWidget using Layouts.

Have you tried to re-position your videoWidget after you started playing a video?

How am I supposed to do that? The Widget is part of a layout. setGeometry() has no effect.

Sorry, my bad, haven't read the layouts part. Well, in that case: Have you tried positioning it without a layout? Does that work? And have you tried playing with the horizontal and vertical settings of the widget?

See "QTBUG-42721":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-42721

I raised this as an issue with iOS video placement (using the QML VideoOutput, but it presumably sits on the same underlying code as the C++ ) a week or so ago which sounds like it's the same as hailong's problem. If it helps identify it's the same thing:

It came in with Qt5.3.2; I never saw the problem on 5.3.1.
If you rotate the device while the video is playing, it'll move to where you expect it to! (At least until the video ends; if you have it set up to loop, it might move back to the top corner again).

Well, then I guess it is not the same problem as I am using Qt 4.8.5.
