Detect supported video codecs

[swegmann]

I understand that the QtMultimedia takes care of choosing the right Codecs for a video to play back and that this all happens nicely in the background. But does anyone here know if there is a way from Qt to find the supported codecs or the installed Video Playback plugins or any other such information?

Hi,

Do you mean something like QMediaRecorder::supportedVideoCodecs() ?

Hej

That could work. I would have never thought of looking in a Recorder class for playback codecs, but I will check this, thanks.

Sorry, I misunderstood your post but currently, except for QMediaRecorder, I don't know if there's a way to have the list of decoders.
