Qt: Help to choice the multimedia framework

Question

Please give me peace of advice. I would like to create some kind of audio-video player with some original functionality. But the problem is I'm not sure which multimedia framework to use. I tried to use Phonon but it has some bugs and for some reason it doesn't support many file formats (maybe I just don't know how to use it properly). So I'm thinking maybe some other mediaframework would be better. Maybe I'm wrong. I can use only LGPL license.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check out Google for "qt vlc". That might give you a starting point.

Answer 2

Like the above user said, vlc is a good option. Another good option would be GStreamer. Although it isn't qt-specific (it's rather Gnome-y actually), it's a pretty decent multimedia framework, and its documentation is (in my humble opinion) superior to vlc's.
