Detailed Description

Attaching a QVideoWidget to a QMediaObject allows it to display the video or image output of that media object. A QVideoWidget is attached to media object by passing a pointer to the QMediaObject in its constructor, and detached by destroying the QVideoWidget.

player = new QMediaPlayer;

playlist = new QMediaPlaylist(player);
playlist->addMedia(QUrl("http://example.com/myclip1.mp4"));
playlist->addMedia(QUrl("http://example.com/myclip2.mp4"));

videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);

videoWidget->show();
playlist->setCurrentIndex(1);
player->play();

Note: Only a single display output can be attached to a media object at one time.

See also QMediaObject, QMediaPlayer, and QGraphicsVideoItem.

Property Documentation

aspectRatioMode : Qt::AspectRatioMode

how video is scaled with respect to its aspect ratio.

Access functions:

Qt::AspectRatioMode aspectRatioMode() const
void setAspectRatioMode(Qt::AspectRatioMode mode)

brightness : int

This property holds an adjustment to the brightness of displayed video.

Valid brightness values range between -100 and 100, the default is 0.

Access functions:

int brightness() const
void setBrightness(int brightness)

Notifier signal:

void brightnessChanged(int brightness)

contrast : int

This property holds an adjustment to the contrast of displayed video.

Valid contrast values range between -100 and 100, the default is 0.

Access functions:

int contrast() const
void setContrast(int contrast)

Notifier signal:

void contrastChanged(int contrast)

fullScreen : bool

This property holds whether video display is confined to a window or is fullScreen.

Access functions:

bool isFullScreen() const
void setFullScreen(bool fullScreen)

Notifier signal:

void fullScreenChanged(bool fullScreen)

hue : int

This property holds an adjustment to the hue of displayed video.

Valid hue values range between -100 and 100, the default is 0.

Access functions:

int hue() const
void setHue(int hue)

Notifier signal:

void hueChanged(int hue)

mediaObject : QMediaObject* const

This property holds the media object which provides the video displayed by a widget.

Access functions:

virtual QMediaObject *mediaObject() const override

saturation : int

This property holds an adjustment to the saturation of displayed video.

Valid saturation values range between -100 and 100, the default is 0.

Access functions:

int saturation() const
void setSaturation(int saturation)

Notifier signal:

void saturationChanged(int saturation)

videoSurface : QAbstractVideoSurface* const

Returns the underlaying video surface that can render video frames to the current widget. This property is never nullptr. Example of how to render video frames to QVideoWidget:

QImage img = QImage("images/qt-logo.png").convertToFormat(QImage::Format_ARGB32);
QVideoSurfaceFormat format(img.size(), QVideoFrame::Format_ARGB32);
videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
videoWidget->videoSurface()->start(format);
videoWidget->videoSurface()->present(img);
videoWidget->show();

This property was introduced in Qt 5.15.

Access functions:

QAbstractVideoSurface *videoSurface() const

See also QMediaPlayer::setVideoOutput.
