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

Detailed Description

The VideoWidget class provides a widget that is used to display video.

The VideoWidget class renders the video of a media stream on a QWidget. It is connected to the MediaObject, of which video stream it should render. You connect the two objects using the Phonon::createPath() function.

The widget has some possibilities to manipulate the video stream. You can change the brightness(), hue(), saturation(), and contrast().

Resizing of the video is handled automatically, but you can affect the way the video is resized with the aspectRatio and scaleMode properties. By default, the widget will use the aspect ratio of the video stream itself.

The video widget takes the size of the video when it receives a new video stream (i.e., when a new MediaSource is set on the MediaObject to which it is connected). If you need to know the size of the video, you can call sizeHint() after the video has been loaded (i.e., after the MediaObject leaves the LoadingState).

It is also possible to go to full screen mode.

A typical example of usage follows below:

 MediaObject *media = new MediaObject(parent);
 VideoWidget *vwidget = new VideoWidget(parent);
 Phonon::createPath(media, vwidget);
