Qt6 and Multimedia module


As I can see in Qt6 no more Multimedia API. Am I right? Is it correct that in Qt6 for such simple task as playing sound I should look at third-party libraries now?


Solution

  • Qt6 is a big change so for compatibility reasons Qt does not provide this module, it will be provided in Qt 6.2 as this post: Add-on support in Qt 6.0 and beyond points out, so if you want to reproduce sounds you will have to use a third party library.

    For Qt 6.2 we are planning to provide the following additional libraries:

    • Qt Bluetooth
    • Qt Data Visualization
    • Qt Lottie Animation
    • Qt Multimedia
    • Qt NFC
    • Qt Positioning
    • Qt Quick Dialogs: Folder, Message Box
    • Qt Remote Objects
    • Qt Sensors
    • Qt SerialBus
    • Qt SerialPort
    • Qt WebChannel
    • Qt WebEngine
    • Qt WebSockets
    • Qt WebView
