  •   I recommend you look at the documentation on the Nokia Qt website for the Phonon player module which is based on GStreamer.

  • hi Clay , 

    ./configure -prefix /opt/qt-embedded -embedded arm -platform /qws/linux-x86-g++ -xplatform /qws/linux-arm-g++ -depths 16,24,32 -no-mmx -no-3dnow -no-sse -no-sse2 -no-glib -no-cups -no-largefile -no-accessibility -no-openssl -no-gtkstyle -qt-mouse-pc -qt-mouse-linuxtp -qt-mouse-linuxinput -plugin-mouse-linuxtp -plugin-mouse-pc -fast -audio-backend -phonon -phonon-backend -webkit -v

    i get :

    Phonon support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!

    i trie also

    apt-cache search qt |grep stream   :

    phonon-backend-gstreamer - Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend

    apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer:

    it fails

    how to get those modules?

    thanks

    best regards

  • Bahri,

        The Phonon module is included in  the Open Source Versions of Qt.  There is a good overview of it here.  You must copy this link into the Qt Assistant that is part of the Qt Creator application.

    qthelp://com.trolltech.qt.460/qdoc/phonon-overview.html

       The Qt backend on Linux uses GStreamer (minimum version is 0.10), which must be installed on the system. At a minimum, you need the GStreamer library and base plugins, which provides support for .ogg files.

       The apt-get utility will install gstreamer on your linux host machine, but what you actually need is gstreamer for the target system, which is ARM Cortex A8.  There is information on that here:

  • Clay,

  • Houssem,

        Sorry about that.  Here is the correct link:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GStreamer

    Regards, Clay

     

  • hi Clay,

    i feel realy lost in the wiki (gstreamer), could  you please give me a link for binaries that i can install them directly on my beagleboard, i need  clearly instruction to go through

     

    thanks very much

  • Houssem,

    You might also try posting questions on the forums http://gstreamer.ti.com.  This is the main project site for the TI GStreamer plugin.  The project maintainers only support this plugin as an add-on to the DVSDK, and don't officially support BeagleBoard, but you may find others are using BeagleBoard on those forums and may be able to help you.

    Regarding phonon -- I would suggest geting GStreamer working without phonon first, and once you are comfortable that GStreamer is working ok, tackle phonon.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks and regards,
    Don
