QT Multimedia players for multiple video files

[Kinesis]

@jsulm
The Problem is I don't know how to create multiple media players for multiple videos which are filtered from directory with looping or some QClasses .

[jsulm]

@Kinesis Please specify what exactly the problem is.
Is it: how to filter files in a directory?

@jsulm
Filtering the video file is not the problem.
The problem is I don't know how to show the filtered videos with media players.
It means that 1 video per 1 player , 5 videos per 5 players.

@Kinesis You iterate over all the video files and create a player for each (like you already did above for one).

@jsulm
I know the logic but when it comes to coding I am really weak . please show me how to do it(just 1 example) . please :(

[jsulm]

@Kinesis Sorry, I will not write the code for you.
I really don't understand what the problem is as you already managed to create one player for one file...

@jsulm

Hi
It is easier to help if you break down task in steps and ask pr step what we
would suggest.
Like getting all files in a folder you could do

#include <QDir>
//assume the directory exists and contains some files 
QDir directory("c:/xx/yyy"); // point to real folder
// ask for mp4 and avi. adjust to your needs
QStringList vids= directory.entryList(QStringList() << "*.mp4" << "*.avi",QDir::Files);
foreach(const QString &filename, vids) {
// new a player 
// insert to form or show as window
// give it file
// tell it to play
}

I got the answer . MainWindow.cpp is like that

 ui->listWidget->setFlow(QListView::LeftToRight);
    ui->listWidget->setMinimumSize(1050,800);
    ui->listWidget->setGridSize(QSize(340, 320));
    ui->listWidget->setResizeMode(QListView::Adjust);
    ui->listWidget->setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
    ui->listWidget->setWrapping(true);

    QDir directory = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(this, tr("Open Directory"),"/home",

                                                       QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly| QFileDialog::DontResolveSymlinks);

    directory.setNameFilters({"*.mp4" , "*.avi" , "*.flv" , "*.mwv"});

    for(const QFileInfo & finfo: directory.entryInfoList()){
        QMediaPlayer *mediaPlayer = new QMediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer->setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile(finfo.absoluteFilePath()));
        videoItem = new QGraphicsVideoItem;
        videoItem->setSize(QSize(300,240));
        QGraphicsScene *scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);
        QGraphicsView *graphicsView = new QGraphicsView(scene);
        mediaPlayer->setVideoOutput(videoItem);

        QPushButton *m_playButton = new QPushButton();
        m_playButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaPlay));

        connect(m_playButton, &QAbstractButton::clicked, [mediaPlayer]() {
            switch (mediaPlayer->state()) {
            case QMediaPlayer::PlayingState:
                mediaPlayer->pause();
                break;
            default:
                mediaPlayer->play();
                break;
            }
        });


        connect(mediaPlayer, &QMediaPlayer::stateChanged, [m_playButton, this](QMediaPlayer::State state) {
            switch(state) {
            case QMediaPlayer::PlayingState:
                m_playButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaPause));
                break;
            default:
                m_playButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaPlay));
                break;
            }
        });



        QSlider *m_positionSlider = new QSlider(Qt::Horizontal,this);
        m_positionSlider->setRange(0,mediaPlayer->duration() / 1000);


        connect(mediaPlayer, &QMediaPlayer::positionChanged ,[m_positionSlider, this](qint64 position){

            m_positionSlider->setValue(position);
        });

        connect(mediaPlayer, &QMediaPlayer::durationChanged ,[m_positionSlider, this](qint64 duration){

            m_positionSlider->setRange(0,duration);
        });


        connect(m_positionSlider ,&QAbstractSlider::sliderMoved, [mediaPlayer ,this] (int position){

            mediaPlayer->setPosition(position);
        });




        auto    item = new QListWidgetItem("", ui->listWidget);
        auto    widget = new QWidget;
        auto    label = new QLabel(finfo.fileName());
        auto    vb = new QVBoxLayout;

        QBoxLayout *controlLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
        controlLayout->setMargin(0);
        controlLayout->addWidget(m_playButton);
        controlLayout->addWidget(m_positionSlider);

        vb->addWidget(label);
        vb->addWidget(graphicsView);
        vb->addLayout(controlLayout);
        widget->setLayout(vb);
        widget->setMinimumSize(320, 320);
        ui->listWidget->setItemWidget(item,widget);
        player.append(mediaPlayer);
        scene->addItem(videoItem);
