How to use QMetaDataReaderControl to store available song metadata to QList<QStringList> while loading files from disk
-
Hi,
How can I store available song metadata while loadin song file from disk? I don't know how to exactly use this Class, while initializing QMetaDataReaderControl, I'm getting this error:
@
../qPlayer/mainwindow.cpp: In constructor 'MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget*)':
../qPlayer/mainwindow.cpp:16:53: error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type 'QMetaDataReaderControl'
metadataReader = new QMetaDataReaderControl(this);
^

/usr/include/qt5/QtMultimedia/qmetadatareadercontrol.h:67:25: note: virtual QStringList QMetaDataReaderControl::availableMetaData() const
virtual QStringList availableMetaData() const = 0;
@Another question: Is there a better way of storing songs metadata while loading them from disk? Or is there another way of displaying the song title, author etc. in a QTableWidget while loading the songs?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can't use this class like that. Like the error said it's an abstract class. You can query it using "QMediaService::requestControl":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmediaservice.html#requestControl
