VideoPlayer Class Reference
(Phonon::VideoPlayer)
[Phonon module]

Detailed Description

The VideoPlayer widget is used to perform playback of video.

With VideoPlayer you can get results quickly and easily. You can do the standard playback tasks like play(), pause(), and stop(), but also set a playback volume and seek - if the media and backend supports seeking.

VideoPlayer is provided for convenience and removes the need to create a media graph with a MediaObject, AudioOutput, and VideoWidget. If you need functionality not supported by the player, you can build this graph yourself.

Keep in mind that when the VideoPlayer instance is deleted the playback will stop.

Note also that most of the functions in this class are asynchronous. For instance, a media source may not play immediately after you call the play() function.

A play and forget code example:

 VideoPlayer *player = new VideoPlayer(Phonon::VideoCategory, parentWidget);
 connect(player, SIGNAL(finished()), player, SLOT(deleteLater()));
 player->play(url);
