<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
<p>The Qt Multimedia module gives developers a simplified way to use audio and video playback, and access camera functionality. The Multimedia QML API provides a QML friendly interface to these features.</p>
<a name="types"></a>
<h2 id="types">Types</h2>
<a name="audio"></a>
<h3 >Audio</h3>
<p><a href="qml-multimedia.html#audio">Audio</a> is an easy way to add audio playback to a Qt Quick scene. Qt Multimedia provides properties for control, methods (functions) and signals.</p>
<p>The code extract below shows the creation and use of an Audio instance.</p>
<pre class="qml">
<span class="type">Item</span> {
<span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">640</span>
<span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">360</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html">Audio</a></span> {
<span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">playMusic</span>
<span class="name">source</span>: <span class="string">"music.wav"</span>
}
<span class="type">MouseArea</span> {
<span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">playArea</span>
<span class="name">anchors</span>.fill: <span class="name">parent</span>
<span class="name">onPressed</span>: { <span class="name">playMusic</span>.<span class="name">play</span>() }
}
}
</pre>
<p>The snippet above shows how the inclusion of <i>playMusic</i> enables audio features on the type that contains it. So that when the parent's MouseArea is clicked the <a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#play-method">play()</a> method of Audio is run. Other typical audio control methods are available such as <a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#pause-method">pause()</a> and <a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#stop-method">stop()</a>.</p>
<p>Much of the getting / setting of <a href="qml-multimedia.html#audio">Audio</a> parameters is done through properties. These include</p>
<div class="table"><table class="generic" width="70%">
<thead><tr class="qt-style"><th >Property</th><th >Description</th></tr></thead>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#source-prop">source</a></td><td >The source URL of the media.</td></tr>

<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#seekable-prop">seekable</a></td><td >Indicates whether the audio position can be changed.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#playbackRate-prop">playbackRate</a></td><td >The rate at which audio is played at as a multiple of the normal rate.</td></tr>

<tr valign="top" class="even"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#errorString-prop">errorString</a></td><td >A description of the current error condition.</td></tr>
</table></div>
<p>The set of signals available allow the developer to create custom behavior when the following events occur,</p>
<div class="table"><table class="generic" width="70%">
<thead><tr class="qt-style"><th >Signal</th><th >Description</th></tr></thead>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#playing-signal">playing</a></td><td >Called when playback is started, or when resumed from paused state.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#paused-signal">paused</a></td><td >Called when playback is paused.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#stopped-signal">stopped</a></td><td >Called when playback is stopped.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td ><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-audio.html#error-prop">error</a></td><td >Called when the specified error occurs.</td></tr>
</table></div>
<a name="camera"></a>
<h3 >Camera</h3>
<p><a href="qml-multimedia.html#camera">Camera</a> enables still image and video capture using QML. It has a number of properties that help setting it up.</p>
<p>The details of using a <a href="qml-multimedia.html#camera">Camera</a> are described in further depth in the <a href="cameraoverview.html">Camera Overview</a> and in the corresponding reference documentation.</p>
<a name="video"></a>
<h3 >Video</h3>
<p>Adding video playback, with sound, to a Qt Quick scene is also easy. The process is very similar to that of Audio above, in fact <a href="qml-multimedia.html#video">Video</a> shares many of the property names, methods and signals. Here is the equivalent sample code to implement video playback in a scene</p>
<pre class="qml">
<span class="type"><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-video.html">Video</a></span> {
<span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">video</span>
<span class="name">width</span> : <span class="number">800</span>
<span class="name">height</span> : <span class="number">600</span>
<span class="name">source</span>: <span class="string">"video.avi"</span>
<span class="type">MouseArea</span> {
<span class="name">anchors</span>.fill: <span class="name">parent</span>
<span class="name">onClicked</span>: {
<span class="name">video</span>.<span class="name">play</span>()
}
}
<span class="name">focus</span>: <span class="number">true</span>
<span class="name">Keys</span>.onSpacePressed: <span class="name">video</span>.<span class="name">paused</span> <span class="operator">=</span> !<span class="name">video</span>.<span class="name">paused</span>
<span class="name">Keys</span>.onLeftPressed: <span class="name">video</span>.<span class="name">position</span> <span class="operator">-=</span> <span class="number">5000</span>
<span class="name">Keys</span>.onRightPressed: <span class="name">video</span>.<span class="name">position</span> <span class="operator">+=</span> <span class="number">5000</span>
}
</pre>
<p>There are similar features like <a href="qml-qtmultimedia-video.html#play-method">play()</a> with new features specific to video.</p>
<p>In the above sample when the parent of MouseArea is clicked, an area of 800x600 pixels with an id of 'video', the source "video.avi" will play in that area. Notice also that signals for the Keys have been defined so that a spacebar will toggle the pause button; the left arrow will move the current position in the video to 5 seconds previously; and the right arrow will advance the current position in the video by 5 seconds.</p>
<p>Most of the differences will obviously be about video control and information. There are many properties associated with <a href="qml-multimedia.html#video">Video</a>, most of them deal with meta-data, control of the video media and aspects of presentation.</p>
<a name="soundeffect"></a>
<h3 >SoundEffect</h3>
<p><a href="qml-multimedia.html#soundeffect">SoundEffect</a> provides a way to play short sound effects, like in video games. Multiple sound effect instances can be played simultaneously. You should use <a href="qml-multimedia.html#audio">Audio</a> for music playback.</p>
<pre class="qml">
<span class="type">Item</span> {
<span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">640</span>
<span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">360</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qml-qtmultimedia-soundeffect.html">SoundEffect</a></span> {
<span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">effect</span>
<span class="name">source</span>: <span class="string">"test.wav"</span>
}
<span class="type">MouseArea</span> {
<span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">playArea</span>
<span class="name">anchors</span>.fill: <span class="name">parent</span>
<span class="name">onPressed</span>: { <span class="name">effect</span>.<span class="name">play</span>() }
}
}
</pre>
<p>In the above sample the sound effect will be played when the MouseArea is clicked.</p>
