QtAV is a media playing library based on Qt and FFmpeg. It can help you to write a player with less effort than ever before. Currently only a simple player is supplied. I will write a stylish one based on QtAV in the feature.
QtAV is free software licensed under the term of LGPL v2.1. If you use QtAV or its constituent libraries, you must adhere to the terms of the license in question.
QtAV can meet your most demands
- Seek, pause/resume
- Video capture
- Transform video using GraphicsItemRenderer. (rotate, shear, etc)
- Playing frame by frame (currently support forward playing)
- Variant streams: locale file, http, rtsp, etc.
- Playing music (not perfect)
- Volume control
- Fullscreen, stay on top
- Compatible: QtAV can be built with both Qt4 and Qt5. QtAV will support both FFmpeg and Libav.
QtAV currently uses FFmpeg to decode video, convert image and audio data, and uses PortAudio to play sound. Every part in QtAV is designed to be extensible. For example, you can write your audio output class using OpenAL, image converting class using cuda to get better performance etc. These features will be added in the feature by default.
- FFmpeg Latest version is recommanded
- Qt 4 or 5
- PortAudio v19
The required development files for MinGW can be found in sourceforge page: depends
For most platforms, just
qmake
make
If the above command failed to build it, try
cd your_build_dir
qmake QtAV_dir/QtAV.pro -r BUILD_DIR=your_build_dir
make
The binaries will be created in $BUILD_DIR/bin. If you are using QtCreator to build the project, you should go to Projects->Build Steps->qmake->Additional arguments, add "BUILD_DIR=your/buid/dir"
See the wiki Compile with MSVC
Wrtie a media player using QtAV is quite easy.
WidgetRenderer renderer;
renderer.show();
AVPlayer player;
player.setRenderer(&renderer);
player.play("test.avi");
For more detail to using QtAV, see the wiki Use QtAV In Your Project
- Space: pause/continue
- F: fullscreen on/off
- T: stays on top on/off
- N: show next frame. Continue the playing by pressing "Space"
- O: open a file
- P: replay
- S: stop
- M: mute on/off
- Up / Down: volume / -
- -> / <-: seek forward / backward
- Drag and drop a media file to player
The default behavior can be replaced by subclassing QObject and call void AVPlayer::setPlayerEventFilter(QObject *obj) (use null to disable).
- Component framework
- Subtitle
- Filters
- Hardware acceleration using NVIDIA Cuda, Intel IPP, OpenCL and OpenGL:
- decoding
- image, audio and filters convertion
- rendering
- Stylish GUI based on Qt Graphics View Framework
- Document and SDK
- Other: play speed, better sync method and seeking, tests, playing statistics, etc.
- Region of interest support.
- More platform support. Maemo, Android, iOS, BB10 etc. Depends on Qt and FFmpeg for those platforms.
