Phonon refuses to open AAC files on Windows 7 (Qt 4.7)

[bitsflew]

According to the backend capabilities (audio/mp4 supported) Phonon should be able to play AAC.

However the "Music Player" sample always returns error 0x80040265 (Cannot play back the file. The format is not suported) when I try to open a valid AAC file.

The file plays without any problems in wmp.

Any ideas?

I have stumbled upon a similar issue. So if anyone could give us a hint, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am running the "media player" sample from qt sdk 4.7.4 (provided with qt installer 1.1.4) both on desktop(=windows XP) and device (=nokia 701, symbian belle, last update). Every media format file runs smoothly, but a network stream such as aac or mp3 would not run.

Try libVLC based Phonon backend.
