Music Player Example

Files:

The Music Player Example shows how to use Phonon - the multimedia framework that comes with Qt - to create a simple music player. The player can play music files, and provides simple playback control, such as pausing, stopping, and resuming the music.

The player has a button group with the play, pause, and stop buttons familiar from most music players. The top-most slider controls the position in the media stream, and the bottom slider allows adjusting the sound volume.

The user can use a file dialog to add music files to a table, which displays meta information about the music - such as the title, album, and artist. Each row contains information about a single music file; to play it, the user selects that row and presses the play button. Also, when a row is selected, the files in the table are queued for playback.

Phonon offers playback of sound using an available audio device, e.g., a sound card or an USB headset. For the implementation, we use two objects: a MediaObject, which controls the playback, and an AudioOutput, which can output the audio to a sound device. We will explain how they cooperate when we encounter them in the code. For a high-level introduction to Phonon, see its overview.

The API of Phonon is implemented through an intermediate technology on each supported platform: DirectShow, QuickTime, and GStreamer. The sound formats supported may therefore vary from system to system. We do not in this example try to determine which formats are supported, but let Phonon report an error if the user tries to play an unsupported sound file.

Our player consists of one class, MainWindow, which both constructs the GUI and handles the playback. We will now go through the parts of its definition and implementation that concerns Phonon.

MainWindow Class Definition

Most of the API in MainWindow is private, as is often the case for classes that represent self-contained windows. We list Phonon objects and slots we connect to their signals; we take a closer look at them when we walk through the MainWindow implementation.

     Phonon::SeekSlider *seekSlider;
     Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject;
     Phonon::MediaObject *metaInformationResolver;
     Phonon::AudioOutput *audioOutput;
     Phonon::VolumeSlider *volumeSlider;
     QList<Phonon::MediaSource> sources;

We use the SeekSlider to move the current playback position in the media stream, and the VolumeSlider controls the sound volume. Both of these widgets come ready made with Phonon. We use another MediaObject, metaInformationProvider, to get the meta information from the music files. More on this later.

     void stateChanged(Phonon::State newState, Phonon::State oldState);
     void tick(qint64 time);
     void sourceChanged(const Phonon::MediaSource &source);
     void metaStateChanged(Phonon::State newState, Phonon::State oldState);
     void aboutToFinish();
     void tableClicked(int row, int column);

The MediaObject informs us of the state of the playback and properties of the media it is playing back through a series of signals. We connect the signals we need to slots in MainWindow. The tableClicked() slot is connected to the table, so that we know when the user requests playback of a new music file, by clicking on the table.

MainWindow Class Implementation

The MainWindow class handles both the user interface and Phonon. We will now take a look at the code relevant for Phonon. The code required for setting up the GUI is explained elsewhere.

We start with the constructor:

 MainWindow::MainWindow()
 {
     audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory, this);
     mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);
     metaInformationResolver = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);

     mediaObject->setTickInterval(1000);

We start by instantiating our media and audio output objects. As mentioned, the media object knows how to playback multimedia (in our case sound files) while the audio output can send it to a sound device.

For the playback to work, the media and audio output objects need to get in contact with each other, so that the media object can send the sound to the audio output. Phonon is a graph based framework, i.e., its objects are nodes that can be connected by paths. Objects are connected using the createPath() function, which is part of the Phonon namespace.

     Phonon::createPath(mediaObject, audioOutput);

We also connect signals of the media object to slots in our MainWindow. We will examine them shortly.

     connect(mediaObject, SIGNAL(tick(qint64)), this, SLOT(tick(qint64)));
     connect(mediaObject, SIGNAL(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)),
             this, SLOT(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)));
     connect(metaInformationResolver, SIGNAL(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)),
             this, SLOT(metaStateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)));
     connect(mediaObject, SIGNAL(currentSourceChanged(Phonon::MediaSource)),
             this, SLOT(sourceChanged(Phonon::MediaSource)));
     connect(mediaObject, SIGNAL(aboutToFinish()), this, SLOT(aboutToFinish()));

Finally, we call private helper functions to set up the GUI. The setupUi() function contains code for setting up the seek , and volume slider. We move on to setupUi():

 void MainWindow::setupUi()
 {
     ...
     seekSlider = new Phonon::SeekSlider(this);
     seekSlider->setMediaObject(mediaObject);

     volumeSlider = new Phonon::VolumeSlider(this);
     volumeSlider->setAudioOutput(audioOutput);

After creating the widgets, they must be supplied with the MediaObject and AudioOutput objects they should control.

In the setupActions(), we connect the actions for the play, pause, and stop tool buttons, to slots of the media object.

     connect(playAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), mediaObject, SLOT(play()));
     connect(pauseAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), mediaObject, SLOT(pause()) );
     connect(stopAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), mediaObject, SLOT(stop()));

We move on to the slots of MainWindow, starting with addFiles():

 void MainWindow::addFiles()
 {
     QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(this, tr("Select Music Files"),
         QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::MusicLocation));

     if (files.isEmpty())
         return;

     int index = sources.size();
     foreach (QString string, files) {
             Phonon::MediaSource source(string);

         sources.append(source);
     }
     if (!sources.isEmpty())
         metaInformationResolver->setCurrentSource(sources.at(index));

 }

In the addFiles() slot, we add files selected by the user to the sources list. We then set the first source selected on the metaInformationProvider MediaObject, which will send a state changed signal when the meta information is resolved; we have this signal connected to the metaStateChanged() slot.

The media object informs us of state changes by sending the stateChanged() signal. The stateChanged() slot is connected to this signal.

 void MainWindow::stateChanged(Phonon::State newState, Phonon::State /* oldState */)
 {
     switch (newState) {
         case Phonon::ErrorState:
             if (mediaObject->errorType() == Phonon::FatalError) {
                 QMessageBox::warning(this, tr("Fatal Error"),
                 mediaObject->errorString());
             } else {
                 QMessageBox::warning(this, tr("Error"),
                 mediaObject->errorString());
             }
             break;

The errorString() function gives a description of the error that is suitable for users of a Phonon application. The two values of the ErrorState enum helps us determine whether it is possible to try to play the same file again.

         case Phonon::PlayingState:
                 playAction->setEnabled(false);
                 pauseAction->setEnabled(true);
                 stopAction->setEnabled(true);
                 break;
         case Phonon::StoppedState:
                 stopAction->setEnabled(false);
                 playAction->setEnabled(true);
                 pauseAction->setEnabled(false);
                 timeLcd->display("00:00");
                 break;
         case Phonon::PausedState:
                 pauseAction->setEnabled(false);
                 stopAction->setEnabled(true);
                 playAction->setEnabled(true);
                 break;

We update the GUI when the playback state changes, i.e., when it starts, pauses, stops, or resumes.

The media object will report other state changes, as defined by the State enum.

The tick() slot is connected to a MediaObject signal which is emitted when the playback position changes:

 void MainWindow::tick(qint64 time)
 {
     QTime displayTime(0, (time / 60000) % 60, (time / 1000) % 60);

     timeLcd->display(displayTime.toString("mm:ss"));
 }

The time is given in milliseconds.

When the table is clicked on with the mouse, tableClick() is invoked:

 void MainWindow::tableClicked(int row, int /* column */)
 {
     bool wasPlaying = mediaObject->state() == Phonon::PlayingState;

     mediaObject->stop();
     mediaObject->clearQueue();

     if (row >= sources.size())
         return;

     mediaObject->setCurrentSource(sources[row]);

     if (wasPlaying)
         mediaObject->play();
     else
         mediaObject->stop();
 }

Since we stop the media object, we first check whether it is currently playing. row contains the row in the table that was clicked upon; the indices of sources follows the table, so we can simply use row to find the new source.

 void MainWindow::sourceChanged(const Phonon::MediaSource &source)
 {
     musicTable->selectRow(sources.indexOf(source));
     timeLcd->display("00:00");
 }

When the media source changes, we simply need to select the corresponding row in the table.

 void MainWindow::metaStateChanged(Phonon::State newState, Phonon::State /* oldState */)
 {
     if (newState == Phonon::ErrorState) {
         QMessageBox::warning(this, tr("Error opening files"),
             metaInformationResolver->errorString());
         while (!sources.isEmpty() &&
                !(sources.takeLast() == metaInformationResolver->currentSource())) {}  /* loop */;
         return;
     }

     if (newState != Phonon::StoppedState && newState != Phonon::PausedState)
         return;

     if (metaInformationResolver->currentSource().type() == Phonon::MediaSource::Invalid)
             return;

     QMap<QString, QString> metaData = metaInformationResolver->metaData();

     QString title = metaData.value("TITLE");
     if (title == "")
         title = metaInformationResolver->currentSource().fileName();

     QTableWidgetItem *titleItem = new QTableWidgetItem(title);
     titleItem->setFlags(titleItem->flags() ^ Qt::ItemIsEditable);
     QTableWidgetItem *artistItem = new QTableWidgetItem(metaData.value("ARTIST"));
     artistItem->setFlags(artistItem->flags() ^ Qt::ItemIsEditable);
     QTableWidgetItem *albumItem = new QTableWidgetItem(metaData.value("ALBUM"));
     albumItem->setFlags(albumItem->flags() ^ Qt::ItemIsEditable);
     QTableWidgetItem *yearItem = new QTableWidgetItem(metaData.value("DATE"));
     yearItem->setFlags(yearItem->flags() ^ Qt::ItemIsEditable);

When metaStateChanged() is invoked, metaInformationProvider has resolved the meta data for its current source. A MediaObject will do this before entering StoppedState. Note that we could also have used the metaDataChanged() signal for this purpose.

Some of the meta data is then chosen to be displayed in the music table. A file might not contain the meta data requested, in which case an empty string is returned.

     if (musicTable->selectedItems().isEmpty()) {
         musicTable->selectRow(0);
         mediaObject->setCurrentSource(metaInformationResolver->currentSource());
     }

     Phonon::MediaSource source = metaInformationResolver->currentSource();
     int index = sources.indexOf(metaInformationResolver->currentSource()) + 1;
     if (sources.size() > index) {
         metaInformationResolver->setCurrentSource(sources.at(index));
     }
     else {
         musicTable->resizeColumnsToContents();
         if (musicTable->columnWidth(0) > 300)
             musicTable->setColumnWidth(0, 300);
     }
 }

If we have media sources in sources of which meta information is not resolved, we set a new source on the metaInformationProvider, which will invoke metaStateChanged() again.

We move on to the aboutToFinish() slot:

 void MainWindow::aboutToFinish()
 {
     int index = sources.indexOf(mediaObject->currentSource()) + 1;
     if (sources.size() > index) {
         mediaObject->enqueue(sources.at(index));
     }
 }

When a file is finished playing, the Music Player will move on and play the next file in the table. This slot is connected to the MediaObject's aboutToFinish() signal, which is guaranteed to be emitted while there is still time to enqueue another file for playback.

The main() function.

Phonon requires that the application has a name; it is set with setApplicationName(). This is because D-Bus, which is used by Phonon on Linux systems, demands this.

 int main(int argv, char **args)
 {
     QApplication app(argv, args);
     app.setApplicationName("Music Player");
     app.setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(true);

     MainWindow window;
     window.show();

     return app.exec();
 }
