Detailed Description

Attaching a QVideoWidget to a QMediaPlayer or QCamera allows it to display the video or image output of that object.

player = new QMediaPlayer;
player->setSource(QUrl("http://example.com/myclip1.mp4"));

videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);

videoWidget->show();
player->play();

Note: Only a single display output can be attached to a media object at one time.

See also QCamera, QMediaPlayer, and QGraphicsVideoItem.
