m_player change status on QMediaPlayer::LoadedMedia
m_player change status on QMediaPlayer::BufferingMedia
m_player change status on QMediaPlayer::BufferedMedia

@jsulm
after QMediaPlayer::BufferedMedia m_player have:

[25.07.2025 17:00:27.476 UTC+03:00][D]: -----m_player.duration() 8385

[25.07.2025 17:00:27.478 UTC+03:00][D]: -----m_player.hasAudio() true

[25.07.2025 17:00:27.479 UTC+03:00][D]: -----m_player.hasVideo() false

[25.07.2025 17:00:27.479 UTC+03:00][D]: -----m_player.position() 0

but m_player don't started

try the following to see if it works or not
QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=gstreamer ./your_application

I guess you are using Qt6 and its default backend is FFmpeg. And check if you have installed FFmpeg.

Multimedia module in Qt5 uses gstreamer.

@JoeCFD said in Don't play mp3:

I guess you are using Qt6 and its default backend is FFmpeg. And check if you have installed FFmpeg.

My computer have ffmpeg version 2024-10-07. And another mp3 is work. But me need play all possible mp3.
And ffplay can play my file

@Mihaill
Qt cannot help if perchance ffmpeg cannot play some mp3 file. Have you tried the ffmpeg directly on the problem file? I do not see anywhere reported that ffmpeg cannot play certain mp3 files

Why are some MP3 files not playing?

If you find MP3 files are not playing on Windows, Android, or iOS, that may be caused by various reasons, including MP3 file corruption, incomplete downloading/transmission, code issues, hardware problems, unsupported media players, or computer viruses.17 Feb 2025

@JonB but ffmpeg can play my file

[JonB]

@Mihaill
OIC, I misunderstood. Can only think: check the command line you use from ffmpeg explicitly when it works against the command line being executed from Qt? Check it is using the same ffmpeg executable from Qt as you use from command line?

[Mihaill]

@JonB In command lyne I test this ile like this:

ffplay alarm.mp3

In qt console after QMediaPlayer::LoadingMedia I get this error:

I find in log this text : Using Qt multimedia with FFmpeg version 7.1 LGPL version 2.1 or later
