audioRole : enumeration
This property holds the role of the audio stream. It can be set to specify the type of audio being played, allowing the system to make appropriate decisions when it comes to volume, routing or post-processing.
The audio role must be set before setting the source property.
Supported values can be retrieved with supportedAudioRoles().
The value can be one of:
customAudioRole is cleared when this property is set to anything other than CustomRole.
This property was introduced in Qt 5.6.
autoLoad : bool
This property indicates if loading of media should begin immediately.
Defaults to true
. If false
, the media will not be loaded until playback is started.
autoPlay : bool
This property controls whether the media will begin to play on start up.
Defaults to false
. If set to true
, the value of autoLoad will be overwritten to true
.
availability : enumeration
Returns the availability state of the media player.
This is one of:
Value | Description |
---|---|
Available | The media player is available to use. |
Busy | The media player is usually available, but some other process is utilizing the hardware necessary to play media. |
Unavailable | There are no supported media playback facilities. |
ResourceMissing | There is one or more resources missing, so the media player cannot be used. It may be possible to try again at a later time. |
bufferProgress : real
This property holds how much of the data buffer is currently filled, from 0.0
(empty) to 1.0
(full).
Playback can start or resume only when the buffer is entirely filled, in which case the status is Audio.Buffered
or Audio.Buffering
. A value lower than 1.0
implies that the status is Audio.Stalled
.
See also status.
customAudioRole : string
This property holds the role of the audio stream when the backend supports audio roles unknown to Qt. It can be set to specify the type of audio being played, allowing the system to make appropriate decisions when it comes to volume, routing or post-processing.
The audio role must be set before setting the source property.
audioRole is set to CustomRole when this property is set.
This property was introduced in Qt 5.11.
duration : int
This property holds the duration of the media in milliseconds.
If the media doesn't have a fixed duration (a live stream for example) this will be 0.
error : enumeration
This property holds the error state of the audio. It can be one of:
Value | Description |
---|---|
NoError | There is no current error. |
ResourceError | The audio cannot be played due to a problem allocating resources. |
FormatError | The audio format is not supported. |
NetworkError | The audio cannot be played due to network issues. |
AccessDenied | The audio cannot be played due to insufficient permissions. |
ServiceMissing | The audio cannot be played because the media service could not be instantiated. |
errorString : string
This property holds a string describing the current error condition in more detail.
hasAudio : bool
This property holds whether the media contains audio.
hasVideo : bool
This property holds whether the media contains video.
loops : int
This property holds the number of times the media is played. A value of 0
or 1
means the media will be played only once; set to Audio.Infinite
to enable infinite looping.
The value can be changed while the media is playing, in which case it will update the remaining loops to the new value.
The default is 1
.
mediaObject : variant
This property holds the native media object.
It can be used to get a pointer to a QMediaPlayer object in order to integrate with C++ code.
QObject *qmlAudio; // The QML Audio object QMediaPlayer *player = qvariant_cast<QMediaPlayer *>(qmlAudio->property("mediaObject"));
Note: This property is not accessible from QML.

muted : bool
This property holds whether the audio output is muted.
Defaults to false.
notifyInterval : int
The interval at which notifiable properties will update.
The notifiable properties are position and bufferProgress.
The interval is expressed in milliseconds, the default value is 1000.
This property was introduced in Qt 5.9.
playbackRate : real
This property holds the rate at which audio is played at as a multiple of the normal rate.
Defaults to 1.0.
playbackState : enumeration
This property holds the state of media playback. It can be one of:
playlist : Playlist
This property holds the playlist used by the media player.
Setting the playlist property resets the source to an empty string.
This property was introduced in Qt 5.6.
position : int
This property holds the current playback position in milliseconds.
To change this position, use the seek() method.
See also seek().
seekable : bool
This property holds whether position of the audio can be changed.
If true, calling the seek() method will cause playback to seek to the new position.
source : url
This property holds the source URL of the media.
Setting the source property clears the current playlist, if any.
status : enumeration
This property holds the status of media loading. It can be one of:
volume : real
This property holds the audio volume.
The volume is scaled linearly from 0.0
(silence) to 1.0
(full volume). Values outside this range will be clamped.
The default volume is 1.0
.
UI volume controls should usually be scaled nonlinearly. For example, using a logarithmic scale will produce linear changes in perceived loudness, which is what a user would normally expect from a volume control. See QtMultimedia.convertVolume() for more details.
error(error, errorString)
This signal is emitted when an error has occurred. The errorString parameter may contain more detailed information about the error.
The corresponding handler is onError
.
Note: The corresponding handler is onError
.
See also QMediaPlayer::Error.
paused()
This signal is emitted when playback is paused.
The corresponding handler is onPaused
.
Note: The corresponding handler is onPaused
.
playbackStateChanged()
This signal is emitted when the playbackState property is altered.
The corresponding handler is onPlaybackStateChanged
.
Note: The corresponding handler is onPlaybackStateChanged
.
playing()
This signal is emitted when playback is started or resumed.
The corresponding handler is onPlaying
.
Note: The corresponding handler is onPlaying
.
stopped()
This signal is emitted when playback is stopped.
The corresponding handler is onStopped
.
Note: The corresponding handler is onStopped
.
pause()
Pauses playback of the media.
Sets the playbackState property to PausedState.
play()
Starts playback of the media.
Sets the playbackState property to PlayingState.
seek(offset)

Sets the playbackState property to StoppedState.
list<int> supportedAudioRoles()
Returns a list of supported audio roles.
If setting the audio role is not supported, an empty list is returned.
This method was introduced in Qt 5.6.
