Detailed Description

The QIfMediaPlayer provides methods to control a media player. This media player can be local or even a remote device you are connected to e.g. over bluetooth.

By default the autoDiscovery is turned to Automatic for this feature and most likely will connect to a local media player instance.

Member Type Documentation

enum QIfMediaPlayer::PlayMode

ConstantValueDescription
QIfMediaPlayer::Normal0Each item in the queue is played in sequential order. Usually the playback stops when the end of the queue is reached.
QIfMediaPlayer::RepeatTrack1Always repeat the current item. It should still be possible to change the current item using next() and previous(), but this depends on the implementation of the backend.
QIfMediaPlayer::RepeatAll2When the end of the queue is reached, the first item starts to play.
QIfMediaPlayer::Shuffle3The item in the queue are played in an random order.

enum QIfMediaPlayer::PlayState

ConstantValueDescription
QIfMediaPlayer::Playing0The media player is currently playing an item.
QIfMediaPlayer::Paused1The playback is paused and can be continued at the same position.
QIfMediaPlayer::Stopped2The playback hasn't been started yet. Starting it, will always start from the beginning.

QIfMediaPlayer::QIfMediaPlayer(QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a QIfMediaPlayer.

The parent argument is passed on to the QIfAbstractFeature base class.

[slot] void QIfMediaPlayer::next()

Skips to the next track in the playQueue.

See also playMode.

[slot] void QIfMediaPlayer::pause()

Pauses the currently ongoing playback.

See also play() and stop().

[slot] void QIfMediaPlayer::play()

Starts to play the current track. If the playQueue is empty it's up to the backend to decide what to do.

See also pause() and stop().

[slot] void QIfMediaPlayer::previous()

Skips to the previous track in the playQueue.

See also playMode.

[slot] void QIfMediaPlayer::seek(qint64 offset)

Seeks into the current track using offset.

The offset can be positive or negative to either seek forward or backward. A successful seek will result in a change of the position property.

[slot] void QIfMediaPlayer::stop()

Stops the currently ongoing playback.

See also play() and pause().

[override virtual protected] void QIfMediaPlayer::clearServiceObject()

Reimplements: QIfAbstractFeature::clearServiceObject().

[override virtual protected] void QIfMediaPlayer::connectToServiceObject(QIfServiceObject *serviceObject)

Reimplements: QIfAbstractFeature::connectToServiceObject(QIfServiceObject *serviceObject).
