Breaking out of QMediaPlaylist with setPlaybackMode set to inf loop

Hi everyone,

Is this possible?

Im trying:

Code:

---

bool MainWindow::on_checkBox_clicked()
{
 
 
    QString alarmTime = QString::number(this->ui->timeEdit->time().hour()) + QString::number(this->ui->timeEdit->time().minute());
    QString currentTime = QString::number(QTime::currentTime().hour()) + QString::number(QTime::currentTime().minute());
 
    QMediaPlaylist *playlist = new QMediaPlaylist(this);
     playlist->addMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/path/song.mp3"));
     playlist->setPlaybackMode(QMediaPlaylist::Loop);
     playlist->setCurrentIndex(1);
     QMediaPlayer *player = new QMediaPlayer(this);
     player->setPlaylist(playlist);
     player->setVolume(100);
 
if(this->ui->checkBox_2->isChecked() == false)
{
    if(alarmTime == currentTime)
      {
        player->play();
      }
}
else
    if(this->ui->checkBox_2->isChecked() == true)
        {
             playlist->stop();
        }
 
}

It starts playing fine, but when I click the appropriate check box to stop it, it does not. Any thoughts on how I can get this to work properly?

Thank you!!!

Maybe I'm understanding this wrong but it looks like you're creating a new player/playlist each time you click, and you actually want to stop the player from the last or first click. Maybe use a global player, or at least point to one?

Indeed.

Let playlist be a member of MainWindow and in the slot you just call play() or stop(), depending on the checkbox's state.

Cheers,
