Phonon::Mediasource and QBuffer

[archerabi]

Hello ,
So i am trying to use a QBuffer as a mediasource for Phonon::mediaObject.

   QFile file("c:\\data\\images\\123.mp3");
    file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);

    QByteArray array =file.read(512*1024);
    QBuffer* buffer = new QBuffer(&array);
    buffer->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);

    mediaObject->setCurrentSource( Phonon::MediaSource(buffer));
    mediaObject->play();

But at mediaObject->setCurrentSource there is an error that says media type could not be determined.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this is happening.
if i replace the source with ( QString file) , it starts playing fine.

Are there code samples using Qbuffer as source?

thanks.

Never mind

AFAIK, the Phonon can only use files on the file system, and not files stored in a buffer or in a resource.

This limitation exists on most platforms...
