Qt6 QtMultimedia : using custom gstreamer pipeline

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

To the best of my knowledge you would have to use GStreamer directly with their QML sink.

@ACF87 Hi,
Did you manage to solve this issue?
I have exact same problem and Tried different approaches with no success yet.

I moved to the ffmpeg pipeline as their defaults work acceptable in my application.

@Jojojoris Hi,
when you say you moved to FFMPEG, does that mean you stick to the default FFMPEG backend when using QT6 QML frontend or are you using FFMEG programmatically using ffmpeg's library directly?
Is it possible to share some code so this becomes clear?
Thanks

@malikcis
you can try
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-index.html#changing-backends
export QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=ffmpeg

I am also having the exact problem "gst-pipeline:<custom pipeline>" is not supporting in QtMultimedia in Qt6 but in Qt5 it works even though I have given "export QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=gstreamer" before executing the binary

Anybody please help...

@DeepakVishak As already written, custom GStreamer pipelines have been dropped in Qt 6.

@DeepakVishak
SGaist is right. custom GStreamer pipelines have been dropped in Qt 6 Multimedia, however you can achieve the same using qml6glsink.
Have a look at this example:
