Phonon module question -- help needed

[SunnySan]

now I have phonon backend compiled with mingw.
two files are created in plugins\phonon_backend directory: libphonon_ds94.a and phonon_ds94.dll

musicplayer and capabilities examples compiled and work perfectly.
but I have problem with video. it has not colors and 4 pictures are repeated in width (screenshot is attached).
can anybody help me? I have no idea about the reason.

my code was this:

Phonon::VideoPlayer *player = new Phonon::VideoPlayer(Phonon::VideoCategory, 0);
player->show();
player->play(Phonon::MediaSource("s.wmv"));

Phonon::VideoPlayer *player = new Phonon::VideoPlayer(Phonon::VideoCategory, 0);
player->show();
player->play(Phonon::MediaSource("s.wmv"));

I am using qt 4.5.2 and phonon compiled with MinGW and MS DX SDK 2008.
my configure command line was:
configure -release -fast -no-exceptions -no-qt3support -no-3dnow -phonon -phonon-backend -no-webkit -no-scripttools -no-direct3d

Do you have a step by step how to compile the phonon?
I am downloading the SDK libs of MS and I also going to compile the phonon libs.

Did you run the "dx_setenv.cmd" and "setenv.cmd" before the compile like memtion in QT4.5 phonon install ?

I also wouldn't like to install the platform of MS if possible.

Thanks

if I succeed I will try to write a step by step guide.
I have several other combinations/compilations to test ahead.
video is corrupt and must be fixed; you know it is essential.
other tests are (order is not meaningful):
- building phonon with DX SDK 2005 (that kdewin uses)
- adding -no-opengl to the configure command line.
- probably tring other backends like mplayer (as in QuarkPlayer)
although QuarkPlayer doesn't show video on my system! I don't know the reason; in the past it worked well.
- compiling with MS VC++
- ?

please report your work here (configure commands, problems, results, etc.). gathering information can help us recognize common cases and guess causes of problems.

Did you run the "dx_setenv.cmd" and "setenv.cmd" before the compile like memtion in QT4.5 phonon install ?

yes; it seems to be essential anyway (qt's phonon backend uses MS DirectShow). you can see early outputs of the configure command; if there is not such env set, phonon support will be set to 'no' regardless of the command line options.
but I have only dx_setenv.cmd on my system!
maybe I should download the whole MS SDK (its huge!!), since setenv.cmd isn't in the MS DX SDK.
probably it will be other test case I have to try.

qt is being compiled now on my system. this time I used both the mingw patch and direct x headers from the kdewin and somewhat changed the configure command line.
I am waiting. it takes many hours evey time

The DS9 backend contains 2 renderers, VMR9 and softrenderer. In my Windows XP installation the VMR9 one doesn't work (can be seen by a warning "the video widget could not be initialized correctly" when the video widget is created) The softrenderer didn't work at all until I edited the file src/3rdparty/phonon/ds9/videowidget.cpp and commented out the following function from VideoWindow:

how can we switch between these two renderers?

On my side I had only setenv.cmd at this location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\setenv.cmd
This was using Xp or earlier version MS download the link quoted in installing-phonon

If you use older version there is 2 links to get. one for the setenv and one for the dx_setenv

see this: http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-inst...age-22652.html
it's very beta.
test it if you can.
