Could not load multimedia backend "ffmpeg"

Hello everybody,

i use "meta-st-x-linux-qt"  with "meta-qt6" on STM32MP157

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/meta-st-x-linux-qt

when I use "QMediaPlayer" to play an audio file it gives me the following error:

 

could not load multimedia backend "ffmpeg"
QtMultimedia is not currently supported on this platform or compiler.
Aborted (core dumped)

 

if I understand correctly, "ffmpeg" would be missing on my platform, how can I add it to yocto when generating it?

Thank you very much

Loupi

    Hi,

    have you used the "v2.0.0" branch of X-LINUX-QT meta layer?

    Normally Qt6 Multimedia should be compiled as well, you can check if libQt6Multimedia.so is in usr/lib.

    BR,

    Philippe.
