    Hello,

    I am tried example on this website http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtmultimedia-mediaplayer.html. I want to play 13MB video. But when I try to compile I will get "out of memory allocating 1073745919 bytes".
    I have linked file wirth qrc. Is there any way to play such big files?

    Thanks

      Hi,

      Don't put it in Qt's resources. It's not designed to embedded video files that big. Resources are built-in your application so 13MB is a pretty big array.

          Yes, you can play them without embedding them in your executable. What do you mean by download ? Are you thinking of bundling that video with your application ?
