Good morning,

I'm trying to work with QPhonon. I've download the example video widget and as my computer is working into Windows, I've download and installed DirectX. Despite of have been given those steps I'm not capable of watching anything in my widget when I load a video. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!!!

Is dll for phonon being created ? Did you compile Qt from source, or did you install SDK ?
Also did you install Platform SDK ? because that is also needed for builing phonon on windows...

Maybe you don't have the appropriate codecs?

I guess no :(
may be you can try what fatjuicymole said. You are missing some codec. trying playing different file formats like .avi, .mpeg, mp4 etc and see if you are able to see any one of them.

Whats the OS you are using ? Windows or Linux ? You said about VM with linux,,, so are u running Qt on linux based VM on a windows pc ?
or other way round ? am not sure of VM on linux,,, havent worked on linux much :(

Also want to know how you installed Qt on the system . And where are you trying to run it from, the actual machine, or the VM ?

Am not sure, but if I remember right , phonon has issues with mingw...
so I guess it wont work. May be you can have a look at Phonon and MinGW: a story about true Windows love (http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/07/15/phonon-and-mingw-a-story-about-true-windows-love/)
