Open customized video file

[tbscope]

Is this one Windows? If so, the documentation says:

Warning: On Windows, we only support QIODevices containing the avi, mp3, or mpg formats. Use the constructor that takes a file name to open files (the Qt backend does not use a QFile internally).

Yes, I am developing for Windows now. Will probably port to other platforms at a later stage.

If QT does not support QFile internally, are there maybe another way to manipulate the byte stream before passing it to the Phonon Framework without rewriting QT's source code?

Depending on the size of the video, perhaps QBuffer? It does mean holding the entire content in memory, which isn't ideal and maybe impossible.

Otherwise, difficult, as the player will assume a file and treat as such, so you can't really stream it.

Note that Phonon was only designed to create simple playback of media files.
