      Hi
      Most video are made with codecs and its required to play it back.
      You can play gif animations directly but most format needs some sort of
      codec.

      So it comes to what platform and what format you use.

          hi, it would take a lot of work to run it inside Qt but you
          can include it as extern app and simply run it via QProcess if
          loose integration is acceptable.

          Alternatively, u can use the VLC lib
          https://github.com/vlc-qt/vlc-qt

              well its a library so it would be embedded into your app.
              Not besides it. Its far more work than using QProcess
              to remote control omxplayer .

                  Hi , maybe this can provide more info
                  https://github.com/vlc-qt/vlc-qt/blob/master/tests/widgets/TestPlayer.cpp
                  You will need to some code to make small player.
                  Remember its not a player - its a lib for playing videos.
                  But it seems to have widgets to make it easy.
