Use QProcess.

hi guys..

i use this code to play music with VLC


QString prog = "vlc";
QStringList arguments;
arguments<< "play" << "/home/zakis/dokimi/sound/./ll.pls";
QProcess* process = new QProcess(this);
process->start(prog , arguments);
process->waitForFinished();
process->close();


how i close the vlc to continue my app?

You don't. You can kill it of course, if you want but VLC is probably a quite bad way of playing music from within your application. Phonon would be much better (which is what VLC is probably using too).

thanks again ... :D
I read about the Phonon library but it's big for my job
Finally install NAS and use the QSound
