Qt Media Module

The Qt Media module offers media related features such as video/sound player. It is based on the Base module.

The following configure line can be used to build the Base and Media module only:

    ./configure -modules media -device xyz

Note that not specifying a device profile would result in the reference device being build. The -qtopiamedia option is equivalent to the -modules media option.

Feature description

The Qt Extended Media Support is provided by this module. The media server controls the media engine via plug-in mechanism. This enables a flexible approach when it comes to the choice if media engine. The engine can be a software based engine such as gstreamer or a hardware engine if the target device has special purpose media hardware. Currently three media engines are supported:

The qtopiamedia library provides Client API's for simplified media client applications. An example is given by the simple mediaplayer tutorial.

FeatureDetails
Media engine controlThe media server provides a plug-in system which allows the incorporation of arbitrary media engines. At this stage three media engines are supported. This module includes the plug-ins to utilize the various engines. In addition audio management can be used to control priorities among multiple audio streams.
Media Client APIThe media client API enables classes for rapid media client development. The provided API incorporates the required IPC mechanism to interface with the media server.
Other featuresThe following features are included in this module:

Software components

The Media module includes the following major software components:

The exact list of components included in this module can be found in $QPEDIR/src/module_media.pri.
