Playing a stream using phonon module

[ram136682]

Hi i want to play a strem in qtopia core ( built for n800 - phonon module ) but i am not able to play it ... Works fine if the source is a file ....

The code goes as follows

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
         Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);
 
         Phonon::AudioOutput *audioOutput =
                 new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory, this);
 
         Phonon::createPath(mediaObject, audioOutput);
 
         const QUrl url("http://www.example.com/stream");
 
         mediaObject->setCurrentSource(url);
 
         mediaObject->play();
 
}

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
         Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);

         Phonon::AudioOutput *audioOutput =
                 new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory, this);

         Phonon::createPath(mediaObject, audioOutput);

         const QUrl url("http://www.example.com/stream");

         mediaObject->setCurrentSource(url);

         mediaObject->play();
                               
}

Can you access the file over network at all? For instance by downloading it using QHttp?

Ya i am able to download a file using QHttp.
Should we enable any mime types exclusively for playing a stream.

It could be that your Phonon backend doesn't support remote streams. Try querying it for its capabilities.

I am using the same program for x11-4.4.1 version where the phonon is able to play the stream. The same program with qtopia-core-4.4.1 is not playing the stream.

Both the x11 and qtopia-core are configured with the same options

I will query the further capabilities of Phonon ...
