Hi all,

As I understand this is very common problem - there are a lot of questions about it over the web and still no certain solution.

I need to play video file on my form.
I used QVideoWidget/QMediaPlayer and was happy until tested it under Windows XP.
Qt 5.x uses Windows Media Foundation to play video on Windows, but WMF was introduced in Vista and is not supported in XP...
In Qt 4.x there was another option - Phonon, which uses DirectShow on Windows. But it was dropped in Qt 5.x

So. How I can play video under Windows XP?!!
