How to get type of media in QMediaPlayer (video or audio)?

I want to draw image in video widget when video is not playing. But I don't know how to check if media is not video. The problem is that source file extension can be mp3, but it is video.

QMediaPlayer::isVideoAvailable doesn't work for me.

Solution

  • I had the same problem and I've solved by checking

    QMediaPlayer::isVideoAvailable()

    But, as in your case, it may not work if checked too early.

    To be sure, you should connect to the signal:

    QMediaPlayer::videoAvailableChanged(bool videoAvailable)

    And then show the image if videoAvailable == false.
