MP3 file from Resources :-/

[qtpat]

Hi!

How can I use a mp3 file from Resources ? I have tried the following code but without any success. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on how to play audio files from the resource qrc file. Thanks !

QString location = ":/kalimba.mp3";
 
    m_mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);
 
    // Setup player
    m_videoWidget = new Phonon::VideoWidget(this);
    Phonon::createPath(m_mediaObject, m_videoWidget);
    setCentralWidget(m_videoWidget);
 
    //m_audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::VideoCategory, this);
    m_audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory, this);
    m_audioOutput->setVolume(100.0);
    Phonon::createPath(m_mediaObject, m_audioOutput);
 
    QObject::connect(m_mediaObject, SIGNAL(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)), this, SLOT(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)));
    //m_mediaObject->setCurrentSource(Phonon::MediaSource(QUrl::fromEncoded(location.toUtf8())));
    m_mediaObject->setCurrentSource(Phonon::MediaSource(location.toUtf8()));
 
    m_mediaObject->play();
 
 
}

QString location = ":/kalimba.mp3";

    m_mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);

    // Setup player
    m_videoWidget = new Phonon::VideoWidget(this);
    Phonon::createPath(m_mediaObject, m_videoWidget);
    setCentralWidget(m_videoWidget);

    //m_audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::VideoCategory, this);
    m_audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory, this);
    m_audioOutput->setVolume(100.0);
    Phonon::createPath(m_mediaObject, m_audioOutput);

    QObject::connect(m_mediaObject, SIGNAL(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)), this, SLOT(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)));
    //m_mediaObject->setCurrentSource(Phonon::MediaSource(QUrl::fromEncoded(location.toUtf8())));
    m_mediaObject->setCurrentSource(Phonon::MediaSource(location.toUtf8()));

    m_mediaObject->play();

The qrc file:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>kalimba.mp3</file>
    </qresource>

have you checked if the code works if you specify a mp3 file from your disk (for debugging purpose)?

Yes the code works fine with a local mp3 file.

QString location = "/Users/pat/Documents/QT_projects/PhononMp3-build-desktop/kalimba.mp3";

Is the resources qrc file the only way to get a media file embedded with the executable file ?
