Playing video in Qt widget using CVideoplayerUtility

Hi,

Any one tried and tested playing video in Qt widget using CVideoplayerUtility ?

Thanks!

you should be able to mix Symbian C++ in there easily, thus have you had any specific problems on using this API ?

Since I am using Qt widget, there is no view involovment during CVideoPlayerUtility instantiation. So, I am wondering how to link the widget to the CVideoPlayerUtility class.

Instantiation has been done as below.

RWindow *iWindow = (RWindow *)CCoeEnv::Static()->WsSession();
const TRect rect(TPoint(0,0), TSize(350,420));

player = CVideoPlayerUtility::NewL(*this,EMdaPriorityNormal,
EMdaPriorityPreferenceNone,
CCoeEnv::Static()->WsSession(),
*(CCoeEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()),
*iWindow,
rect,
rect);

Now, my questionis how does the Play() call play the video in respective widget ?

Thanks!

uups, I definetely forgot that it does require window and for that one I don't have ready made answers really..

No problem:-) Thanks for the reply!

But please let me know if you find any work around or mechanism.

Thanks!

Not sure if it really works, but QWidget::effectiveWinId returns widget native backend - in S60 it is CCoeControl. From CCoeControl you can ask the window handle. So at least in principle you should be able to map widget to CVideoPlayerUtility.
