QtIviMedia MediaPlayer Simulation Backend
Requirements
- QtMultimedia
- taglib
Supported interfaces
- org.qt-project.qtivi.MediaPlayer/1.0
- org.qt-project.qtivi.MediaIndexer/1.0
- org.qt-project.qtivi.MediaDiscovery/1.0
- org.qt-project.qtivi.SearchAndBrowseModel/1.0
The backend uses QtMultimedia to offer real media playback on various platforms. The indexer will automatically start to index all mp3 files in the media folder.
For the SearchAndBrowseModel the following contenTypes are supported:
- artist A list of all artists.
- album A list of all albums.
- track A list of all tracks.
The model supports filtering and sorting, as well as navigating through the media library using the following navigation paths:
- Artist -> Album -> Track
- Album -> Track
Note: On systems where taglib is disabled, indexing of files doesn't work and because of that the media database can't be created.
Configuration
This backend uses environment variables for its configuration. By default it will write its database to the application's cache location. There is also a non persistent mode, where the indexed media database is not saved, but recreated on every start of the app.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| QTIVIMEDIA_TEMPORARY_DATABASE | The database is written to a temporary location and deleted when the application is stopped. |
| QTIVIMEDIA_SIMULATOR_DATABASE | A path to the media database which should be used. |
| QTIVIMEDIA_SIMULATOR_LOCALMEDIAFOLDER | The local media directory (default: all media locations of the user - see also QStandardPaths) |
| QTIVIMEDIA_SIMULATOR_DEVICEFOLDER | The path which will be used by the DiscoveryModel for discovering media devices. (default: /home/<user>/usb-simulation) |
