    public class MediaObject

extends QObject

The `MediaObject` class provides an interface for media playback. Author: Matthias Kretz <kretz@kde.org>

The media object manages a `MediaSource`, which supplies the media object with multimedia content, e.g., from a file. A playback in Phonon is always started by calling the `play()` function.

The state of play (play, pause, stop, seek) is controlled by the media object, and you can also query the current `state()`. It keeps track of the playback position in the media stream, and emits the `tick()` signal when the current position in the stream changes.

Notice that most functions of this class are asynchronous, so you cannot rely on that a state is entered after a function call before you receive the `stateChanged()` signal. The description of the `State` enum gives a description of the different states.

Before `play()` is called, the media object should be connected to output nodes, which outputs the media to the underlying hardware. The output nodes required are dependent on the contents of the multimedia file that is played back. Phonon has currently two output nodes: the `AudioOutput` for audio content and `VideoWidget` for video content. If a `MediaSource` contains both audio and video, both nodes need to be connected to the media object.
The following code example is written in c++.

        Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);

        Phonon::VideoWidget *videoWidget = new Phonon::VideoWidget(this);
        Phonon::createPath(mediaObject, videoWidget);

        Phonon::AudioOutput *audioOutput =
            new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::VideoCategory, this);
        Phonon::createPath(mediaObject, audioOutput);

        mediaObject->play();

The media object can queue sources for playback. When it has finished to play one source, it will start playing the next in the queue; the new source is then removed from the queue. The queue can be altered at any time.

    media->setCurrentSource(":/sounds/startsound.ogg");
    media->enqueue("/home/username/music/song.mp3");
    media->enqueue(":/sounds/endsound.ogg");

You can also make use of the `aboutToFinish()` signal, which is guaranteed to be emitted in time for altering the queue.

      media->setCurrentSource(":/sounds/startsound.ogg");
      connect(media, SIGNAL(aboutToFinish()), SLOT(enqueueNextSource()));
    }

    void enqueueNextSource()
    {
      media->enqueue("/home/username/music/song.mp3");
    }

When playback is finishing, i.e., when a media source has been played to the end and the queue is empty, several signals are emitted. First, the media object will emit `aboutToFinish()` - shortly before the playback has finished - and then `finished()` . The `stateChanged()` signal will also be emitted with `PausedState` , which is the state the media object takes when the playback is finished. If you wish to enter another state, you can connect a slot to `finished()` and set a new state there.

The media object resolves the meta information, such as title, artist, and album. The meta data is not resolved immediately after a new source is provided, but will be resolved before the object leaves the `LoadingState` . The data is queried by string keys - which should follow the Ogg Vorbis specification http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html - or by using the `MetaData` enum. The data available will depend on the type and content of the individual media files. `metaDataChanged()` will be emitted when the media object has resolved new meta data.

Errors encountered during playback and loading of media sources are reported by emitting a state changed signal with `ErrorState` . The severity of the error can be queried by the `ErrorType` . With a `NormalError` , it might be possible to continue the playback, for instance, if only audio playback fails for a media source which also has video. A `FatalError` indicates that Phonon cannot continue playback of the current source, but it is possible to try with a different one. A user readable error message is given by `errorString()`.

Field Detail

### aboutToFinish

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal0 aboutToFinish

  Emitted before the playback of the whole queue ends. When this signal is emitted you still have time to `enqueue()` a new `MediaSource`, so that playback continues.

  If you need a signal to be emitted at a specific time before playback is finished, you should use the `prefinishMarkReached()` signal instead.

See also:
  `enqueue()`, prefinishMark, and `prefinishMarkReached()` .

### bufferStatus

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 bufferStatus

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <java.lang.Integer(named: percentFilled)>:

  Provides information about the status of the buffer.

  When a `MediaObject` is in the `BufferingState` , it will send this signal regularly. `percentFilled` is a number between 0 and 100 telling you how much the buffer is filled.

  You can use this signal to show a progress bar to the user when in `BufferingState` :

      progressBar->setRange(0, 100); // this is the default
      connect(media, SIGNAL(bufferStatus(int)), progressBar, SLOT(setValue(int)));

  Note that the BufferingSate is commonly used when waiting for data over a network connection, but this might not be true for all backends.

### currentSourceChanged

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 currentSourceChanged

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <com.trolltech.qt.phonon.MediaSource(named: newSource)>:

  Emitted when the `MediaObject` makes a transition to the next `MediaSource` in the queue.

  In other words, it is emitted when an individual `MediaSource` is finished.

  `newSource` is the source that starts to play at the time the signal is emitted.

### finished

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal0 finished

  Emitted when the object has finished playback. It is not emitted if you call `stop()`, `pause()` or load(), but only on end-of-queue or a critical error.

  Warning: This signal is not emitted when the current source has finished and there's another source in the queue. It is only emitted when the queue is empty.

See also:
  `currentSourceChanged()` , `aboutToFinish()` , and `prefinishMarkReached()` .

### hasVideoChanged

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 hasVideoChanged

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <java.lang.Boolean(named: hasVideo)>:

  Emitted whenever the return value of `hasVideo()` changes.

  Normally you'll check `hasVideo()` first and then let this signal tell you whether video is available now or not. That way you don't have to poll `hasVideo()`.

  `hasVideo` is true when the stream contains video and adding a `VideoWidget` will show a video, and false if there is no video data in the stream and adding a `VideoWidget` will show an empty (black) `VideoWidget`.

### metaDataChanged

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal0 metaDataChanged

  This signal is emitted when the media object has resolved new meta data. This will happen before the media object leaves the `LoadingState` after a new source has been set.

  This signal is not emitted when the media object removes the current data, i.e., when a new source is set or an error has occurred. If you need to know this, you can listen for the `ErrorState` , and connect to the `currentSourceChanged()` signal.

  You can get the new meta data with the metaData methods.

See also:
  `metaData()`, `currentSourceChanged()` , `stateChanged()` , and `Phonon::State` .

### prefinishMarkReached

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 prefinishMarkReached

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <java.lang.Integer(named: msecToEnd)>:

  Emitted when there are only `msecToEnd` milliseconds left of playback.

  Warning: This signal is not emitted when there is another source in the queue. It is only emitted when the queue is empty.

See also:
  `setPrefinishMark()`, `prefinishMark()`, `aboutToFinish()` , and `finished()` .

### seekableChanged

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 seekableChanged

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <java.lang.Boolean(named: isSeekable)>:

  Emitted whenever the return value of `isSeekable()` changes.

  Normally you'll check `isSeekable()` first and then let this signal tell you whether seeking is possible now or not. That way you don't have to poll `isSeekable()`.

  `isSeekable` is true if the stream is seekable (i.e. calling `seek()` works), and false if the stream is not seekable (i.e. all calls to `seek()` will be ignored).

### stateChanged

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal2 stateChanged

  This signal takes 2 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <com.trolltech.qt.phonon.Phonon$State(named: newstate), com.trolltech.qt.phonon.Phonon$State(named: oldstate)>:

  This signal is emitted when the state of the `MediaObject` has changed. The `newstate` and `oldstate` parameters indicate the previous state and current state of the media object.

  If you are only interested in the new state of the media object, you can connect this signal to a slot that accepts only one State argument.

### tick

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 tick

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <java.lang.Long(named: time)>:

  This signal is emitted in intervals defined by the tickInterval property. The current position of the media object in the stream is given by the `time` parameter and is specified in milliseconds.

See also:
  tickInterval.

### totalTimeChanged

    public final QSignalEmitter.Signal1 totalTimeChanged

  This signal takes 1 generic argument(s). We list their type and the name they go by in the description of this signal. <java.lang.Long(named: newTotalTime)>:

  This signal is emitted as soon as the total time of the media file is known or has changed. For most non-local media data the total time of the media can only be known after some time. At that time the totalTime function can not return useful information. You have to wait for this signal to know the real total time.

  `newTotalTime` is the length of the media file in milliseconds.

See also:
  `totalTime()`.

Method Detail

### clearQueue

    public final void clearQueue()

  Clears the queue of sources.

### currentSource

    public final MediaSource currentSource()

  Returns the current media source, i. ., the media source that is being played back. The current source is either set with `setCurrentSource()` or taken from the media `queue()` when a media source has finished playing.

See also:
  `setCurrentSource()`.

### currentTime

    public final long currentTime()

  Returns the current time (in milliseconds), i. ., position in the media stream, of the file currently being played.

See also:
  `tick()` , `totalTime()`, and `remainingTime()`.

### enqueue

    public final void enqueue(MediaSource source)

  Appends one `source` to the queue.

  You can use this function to provide the next source after the `aboutToFinish()` signal was emitted.

See also:
  `aboutToFinish()` , `setQueue()`, and `clearQueue()`.

### enqueue

    public final void enqueue(java.util.List sources)

  Appends multiple `sources` to the queue.

See also:
  `setQueue()`, and `clearQueue()`.

### enqueueUrls

    public final void enqueueUrls(java.util.List urls)

  Appends the URLs in `urls` to the media source queue.

See also:
  `setQueue()`, and `clearQueue()`.

### errorString

    public final java.lang.String errorString()

  Returns a human-readable description of the last error that occurred. The strings given may vary between backends.

  The error description can be used to give a message to the user - and the developer - when the `stateChanged()` signal is emitted with `ErrorState` .

  ## Qt Backends

  On Windows, Qt fetches its error messages from the DirectShow backend. This usually includes an error number, which can be looked up in the DirectShow documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dx81_c/directx_cpp/htm/errorandsuccesscodes.asp.

  On Linux and Mac, the error strings are not fetched directly from the backend, but are created in the backend.

See also:
  `Phonon::ErrorState` , and `stateChanged()` .

### errorType

    public final Phonon.ErrorType errorType()

  Tells your program what to do about the last error that occurred. Use this function after receiving a `stateChanged()` signal with `ErrorState` .

See also:
  `Phonon::ErrorType` , `Phonon::ErrorState` , and `stateChanged()` .

### hasVideo

    public final boolean hasVideo()

  Check whether the current media source includes a video stream.

  Warning: This information is not resolved immediately after a media object gets a new source. Listen to the `hasVideoChanged()` signal instead.

        connect(media, SIGNAL(hasVideoChanged(bool)), hasVideoChanged(bool));
        media->setCurrentSource("somevideo.avi");
        media->hasVideo(); // returns false;
      }

      void hasVideoChanged(bool b)
      {
        // b == true
        media->hasVideo(); // returns true;
      }

  Returns `true` if the media contains video data; otherwise, returns `false`.

See also:
  `hasVideoChanged()` .

### inputPaths

    public final java.util.List inputPaths()

  Returns the paths that inputs multimedia to this media node.

See also:
  `outputPaths()`.

### isSeekable

    public final boolean isSeekable()

  Check whether it is possible to seek, i. ., change the playback position in the media stream.

  Warning: This information is not solved immediately after the media object gets a new media source. The `hasVideoChanged()` signal is emitted after this information is available.

        connect(media, SIGNAL(hasVideoChanged(bool)), hasVideoChanged(bool));
        media->setCurrentSource("somevideo.avi");
        media->hasVideo(); // returns false;
      }

      void hasVideoChanged(bool b)
      {
        // b == true
        media->hasVideo(); // returns true;
      }

  Returns `true` if the current media may be seeked; otherwise, returns `false`.

See also:
  `seekableChanged()` .

### isValid

    public final boolean isValid()

  Returns true if the backend provides an implementation of this class; otherwise returns false.

  This does not guarantee that instances of the class works as expected, but that the backend has implemented the functionality for this class. For instance, Qt's GStreamer backend will return true for instances of the `AudioOutput` class, even if there is a problem with GStreamer and it could not play sound.

### metaData

    public final java.util.SortedMap metaData()

  Returns all meta data in a multi map.

See also:
  `metaDataChanged()` .

### metaData

    public final java.util.List metaData(Phonon.MetaData key)

  Returns the strings associated with the given `key`.

  Same as above except that the keys are defined in the `Phonon::MetaData` enum.

See also:
  `metaDataChanged()` .

### metaData

    public final java.util.List metaData(java.lang.String key)

  Returns the strings associated with the given `key`.

  Backends should use the keys specified in the Ogg Vorbis documentation: http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html

  Therefore the following should work with every backend:

  Note that meta data is not resolved before the `metaDataChanged()` signal is emitted.

  A typical usage looks like this:

      setMetaArtist (media->metaData("ARTIST"     ));
      setMetaAlbum  (media->metaData("ALBUM"      ));
      setMetaTitle  (media->metaData("TITLE"      ));
      setMetaDate   (media->metaData("DATE"       ));
      setMetaGenre  (media->metaData("GENRE"      ));
      setMetaTrack  (media->metaData("TRACKNUMBER"));
      setMetaComment(media->metaData("DESCRIPTION"));

### outputPaths

    public final java.util.List outputPaths()

  Returns the paths to which this media node output media.

See also:
  `inputPaths()`.

### pause

    public final void pause()

  Requests playback to pause, and the media object to enter the `PausedState` . If it was paused already, nothing changes.

  This function is asynchronous and the media might not be paused immediately.

See also:
  `play()`, `stop()`, and `stateChanged()` .

### play

    public final void play()

  Requests playback of the media data to start.

  Playback starts when the `stateChanged()` signal is emitted with `PlayingState` .

  If the media object is already in a `PlayingState` or in the error state, nothing happens.

See also:
  `stop()`, `pause()`, and `stateChanged()` .

### prefinishMark

    public final int prefinishMark()

  This property holds the time when the prefinishMarkReached signal is emitted before playback ends. This property specifies the time in milliseconds the `prefinishMarkReached()` signal is emitted before the playback finishes. A value of `0` disables the signal. The signal is only emitted for the last source in the `media queue`.

  Defaults to `0` (disabled).

  Warning: For some media data the total time cannot be determined accurately, therefore the accuracy of the prefinishMarkReached signal can be bad sometimes. Still, it is better to use this method than to look at `totalTime()` and `currentTime()` to emulate the behavior because the backend might have more information available than your application does through `totalTime()` and `currentTime()`.

See also:
  `prefinishMarkReached()` .

### queue

    public final java.util.List queue()

  Returns the queued media sources.

  This does list does not include the current source, returned by `currentSource()`.

See also:
  `setQueue()`, and `enqueue()`.

### remainingTime

    public final long remainingTime()

  Get the remaining time (in milliseconds) of the file currently being played.

  Returns the remaining time in milliseconds.

See also:
  `totalTime()`, `currentTime()`, and `totalTimeChanged()` .

### seek

    public final void seek(long time)

  Requests a seek to the `time` indicated, specified in milliseconds.

  You can only seek if `state()` is `PlayingState` , `BufferingState` or `PausedState` .

  The call is asynchronous, so currentTime can still be the old value right after this method was called. If all you need is a slider that shows the current position and allows the user to seek use the class `SeekSlider`.

See also:
  `SeekSlider`, and `tick()` .

### setCurrentSource

    public final void setCurrentSource(MediaSource source)

  Set the media source the `MediaObject` should use.

  After the media object receives a new source, it will enter the `LoadingState` . When it is ready to play, it enters the `StoppedState` unless another state has been requested, e.g., by calling `play()`.

  `source` is the `MediaSource` object to the media data. You can just as well use a `QUrl` or QString (for a local file) here.

  We show an example:

      QUrl url("http://www.example.com/music.ogg");
      media->setCurrentSource(url);

See also:
  `currentSource()`.

### setPrefinishMark

    public final void setPrefinishMark(int msecToEnd)

  This property holds the time when the prefinishMarkReached signal is emitted before playback ends. This property specifies the time in milliseconds the `prefinishMarkReached()` signal is emitted before the playback finishes. A value of `0` disables the signal. The signal is only emitted for the last source in the `media queue`.

  Defaults to `0` (disabled).

  Warning: For some media data the total time cannot be determined accurately, therefore the accuracy of the prefinishMarkReached signal can be bad sometimes. Still, it is better to use this method than to look at `totalTime()` and `currentTime()` to emulate the behavior because the backend might have more information available than your application does through `totalTime()` and `currentTime()`.

See also:
  `prefinishMarkReached()` .

### setQueue

    public final void setQueue(java.util.List sources)

  Set the `sources` to play when the current source has finished.

  This function will overwrite the current queue.

See also:
  `clearQueue()`, and `enqueue()`.

### setQueueToUrls

    public final void setQueueToUrls(java.util.List urls)

  Set the `urls` to play when the current media has finished.

  This function overwrites the current queue.

See also:
  `clearQueue()`, and `enqueue()`.

### setTickInterval

    public final void setTickInterval(int newTickInterval)

  This property holds The time interval in milliseconds between two ticks. The `tick()` signal is emitted continuously during playback. The tick interval is the time that elapses between the emission of two tick signals. If you set the interval to `0` the tick signal gets disabled.

  The `tick()` signal can, for instance, be used to update widgets that show the current position in the playback of a media source.

  Defaults to `0` (disabled).

  Warning: The back-end is free to choose a different tick interval close to what you asked for. This means that the following code `may` fail:

      int x = 200;
      media->setTickInterval(x);
      Q_ASSERT(x == producer->tickInterval());

  On the other hand the following is guaranteed:

      int x = 200;
      media->setTickInterval(x);
      Q_ASSERT(x >= producer->tickInterval() &&
               x <= 2producer->tickInterval());

See also:
  `tick()` .

### setTransitionTime

    public final void setTransitionTime(int msec)

  This property Defines the time between playback of two media sources in the media queue. A positive transition time defines a gap of silence between queued media sources.

  A transition time of 0 ms requests gapless playback (i.e., the next source in the media queue starts immediately after the playback of the current source finishes).

  A negative transition time defines a crossfade between the queued media sources.

  Defaults to 0 (gapless playback).

  Warning: This feature might not work reliably with every backend.

### state

    public final Phonon.State state()

  Returns the current `Phonon::State` of the object.

See also:
  `Phonon::State` , and `stateChanged()` .

### stop

    public final void stop()

  Requests playback to stop, and the media object to enter the `StoppedState` . If it was stopped before nothing changes.

  This function is asynchronous and the media might not be stopped immediately.

See also:
  `play()`, `pause()`, and `stateChanged()` .

### tickInterval

    public final int tickInterval()

  This property holds The time interval in milliseconds between two ticks. The `tick()` signal is emitted continuously during playback. The tick interval is the time that elapses between the emission of two tick signals. If you set the interval to `0` the tick signal gets disabled.

  The `tick()` signal can, for instance, be used to update widgets that show the current position in the playback of a media source.

  Defaults to `0` (disabled).

  Warning: The back-end is free to choose a different tick interval close to what you asked for. This means that the following code `may` fail:

      int x = 200;
      media->setTickInterval(x);
      Q_ASSERT(x == producer->tickInterval());

  On the other hand the following is guaranteed:

      int x = 200;
      media->setTickInterval(x);
      Q_ASSERT(x >= producer->tickInterval() &&
               x <= 2producer->tickInterval());

### totalTime

    public final long totalTime()

  Get the total time (in milliseconds) of the file currently being played.

  Returns the total time in milliseconds.

  Warning: The total time is not defined before the media object enters the `LoadingState` .

See also:
  `totalTimeChanged()` .

### transitionTime

    public final int transitionTime()

  This property Defines the time between playback of two media sources in the media queue. A positive transition time defines a gap of silence between queued media sources.

  A transition time of 0 ms requests gapless playback (i.e., the next source in the media queue starts immediately after the playback of the current source finishes).

  A negative transition time defines a crossfade between the queued media sources.

  Defaults to 0 (gapless playback).

  Warning: This feature might not work reliably with every backend.
