Hi everybody,

Can you confirm that there are some issues with the MediaPlayer on Gold SDK?

The MediaPlayer works well on qml as an attached object but not in C++

I've tried to implement MediaPlayer like this

MediaPlayer mp(this);
mp.setSourceUrl(QUrl("asset:///sounds/test.mp3"));
mp.play();

The problem is that there was no sound

I also tried to play local file:

MediaPlayer mp(this);
mp.setSourceUrl(QUrl("file:///accounts/1000/shared/music/test.mp3"));
mp.play();

Even though 

MediaPlayer mp(this);
mp.setSourceUrl("file:///accounts/1000/shared/music/test.mp3");
mp.play();

I've allowed access_shared and there was no sound also!!!

So, can you guys got the same problems?

works fine for me in OpenDataSpace with sound

.mp3 .ogg .wav .m4a

void OpenDataSpace::invokeBoundMediaPlayer(const QString& uri) {
	qDebug() << "invoke bound mediaplayer" << uri;
	InvokeRequest cardRequest;
	if (uri.startsWith('/')) {
		cardRequest.setUri("file://" + uri);
	} else {
		cardRequest.setUri(uri);
	}
	cardRequest.setTarget("sys.mediaplayer.previewer");
	mInvokeManager->invoke(cardRequest);
}

Thanks @ekke, but I dont't want to Invoke any cards, just play the sound in the background

aaah - understand. have not done this yet

I'm encountering the same thing, but only in Release build - I get sound in Debug builds ok.

Also, even in debug builds I can't seem to get setSourceUrl to work with a file:// type, and according to docs it's also supposed to work with just "/sounds/test.mp3" and then assume asset:// but it doesn't.

Hunting for a solution...

Has anyone managed to solve this yet?

[battlegoat]

I haven't had a chance to go back and test after the last SDK update, I had intended to create a simple repro case for it... but my "solution" to get sound working was to switch my app to use the OpenAL interfaces.  Doesn't play all the same formats, though.

This works, ignore the example code:

MediaPlayer* mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp->setSourceUrl(QString("file:///accounts/1000/shared/music/2.mp3"));
mp->play();

[battlegoat]

Ah, but that example plays a file that is included in the 'shared' file area.  What if the file is only in the private 'assets' area?

[JeffLemon]

Use this for any sound that's included in your app:

mp->setSourceUrl(QString(QDir::currentPath() +"/app/native/assets/sounds/2.mp3"));
