QtMultimedia, RadioData object
-
Hi all,
i am trying to use this QML object on a linux based system using an fm radio chip, but no rds data is displayed from the object. If i read rds data using a console tool, seems data are there:
[system@localhost user]$ rds-ctl -R

[system@localhost user]$I am wondering how the RadioData object interact with v4l2 library, and how i could debug the issue.
Many thanks

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Did you also check the Radio Overview Chapter ?

Hi,
well, from that page:
Radio Implementation Details
The actual level of support depends on the underlying system support. It should be noted that only analog radio is supported, and the properties of the radio data component will only be populated if the system radio tuner supports RDS.
This is not totally true. My driver supports RDS and rds-ctl tool reads the data. While RadioData object is not accessing the driver fops_read at all (checked with some printk at driver level).
So, mainy, in linux at least, even using v4l2 support, radioData seems to do nothing.
Investigating.
