Unpredictable behaviour by QMediaPlayer when trying to mute the volume!
Unsolved
General and Desktop
-
for(int i = 0; i<videoPlaylist.size(); i++) { videoPlayer->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(videoPlaylist.at(i))); videoPlayer->setMuted(true); videoPlayer->play(); videoPlayer->setVolume(0); videoWidget->showFullScreen(); while (videoPlayer->state() == QMediaPlayer::PlayingState) { QCoreApplication::processEvents(QEventLoop::AllEvents, 100); } }
So I have this for loop where I iterate through each QString from the QStringList and put the file name to the pointer to the object of QMediaPlayer as the media. Then I play the file as and try to mute the volume using two different attempts. Yet, in some videos there is no sound, while in others there is a sound. Why is such unpredictable nature? The videos are .mp4. Does it have to do anything with the codec? FYI, I tried to use setVolume() and setMuted() individually as well, but even then the unpredictability persists. The program is running on Ubuntu 14.04.
Thanks.
