Dear Isa!
You can use QX11EmbedContainer widget and play movie with the help of MPlayer application using with QProcess.

QProcess *mp=new QProcess(0);
 
			connect(mp, SIGNAL(finished(int)),this,SLOT(endPlayProcess()));
 
			QString program = "mplayer";
			QStringList arguments;
			QString windowId=QString::number(winId());
			QString ratio=""; 
			ratio+="-monitoraspect "+QString::number(4)+":"+QString::number(3)+" ";
arguments<<"-vo"<<"gl2" <<"-wid" << windowId << "-slave" <<mediaPath[currentIndex] << "n";
mp->start(program,arguments);

QProcess *mp=new QProcess(0);
	
			connect(mp, SIGNAL(finished(int)),this,SLOT(endPlayProcess()));

			QString program = "mplayer";
			QStringList arguments;
			QString windowId=QString::number(winId());
			QString ratio=""; 
			ratio+="-monitoraspect "+QString::number(4)+":"+QString::number(3)+" ";
arguments<<"-vo"<<"gl2" <<"-wid" << windowId << "-slave" <<mediaPath[currentIndex] << "n";
mp->start(program,arguments);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In Qt there is no Movie Player widget.

Here mediaPath[currentIndex] means file Name with path which you want to play.

I have a problem embedding mplayer inside Qt Widget, in kde works fine, but it doesn't work under gnome, the player doesn't show.

QProcess mplayerProcess = new QProcess;
QString program = "mplayer";
QStringList arguments;
arguments << finalVideo << "-wid"<<QString::number(previewBox->winId())<<"-nosound";
  mplayerProcess->start(program,arguments);

QProcess mplayerProcess = new QProcess;
QString program = "mplayer";
QStringList arguments;
arguments << finalVideo << "-wid"<<QString::number(previewBox->winId())<<"-nosound";
  mplayerProcess->start(program,arguments);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

previewBox is a GroupBox inside a QWidget.
Any help ?

Have you seen Media Player example in Qt 4.4. It plays movie files using phonon

[Brandybuck]

Yes, use Phonon instead of XEmbed. It is included in Qt 4.4.0, and is meant for exactly this solution.

Hi!!

One question, Can i Play a video stream URL with Phonon?

Thanks!

Cheers.

[wysota]

Yes, Phonon-MediaSource takes a QUrl as its argument.

Hi,

I did:

self.mediaObject = Phonon.MediaObject(self)
self.webcamUrl = QUrl("http://gdnet.com.ar:8081")
self.mediaObject.setCurrentSource(self.webcamUrl)

And it complains "MediaObject.setCurrentSource() has an invalid type"
I am using PyQt as well.
I saw in the example that sets the media source for url like that, so i Don't know which is the error :S
Even if I set an url to a ogg file, the same happens.

Any tip? Thanks.

Cheers.

EDIT: never mind, i was doing it wrong. Now i wrote:

self.mediaObject.setCurrentSource(Phonon.MediaSour ce(self.webcamUrl))
