About:
Qt Multimedia is a module that provides a rich set of APIs for handling audio and video content. It enables developers to integrate playback, recording, and camera functionality into applications. It abstracts platform-specific backends to deliver a consistent multimedia experience.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform audio/video playback and recording
  • Camera integration and viewfinder functionality
  • Support for various codecs and media formats
  • QML and C++ API support
Use Cases:
  • Building media players and streaming applications
  • Integrating camera capture in desktop or mobile apps
  • Processing audio streams for VoIP or communication tools
Alternatives:
  • GStreamer – A lower-level, highly extensible multimedia framework, often used as a backend for Qt itself on Linux.
  • FFmpeg – A comprehensive suite for processing and transcoding multimedia, typically used for command-line tools or custom decoders.
