Qt5 relies on platform codecs to be installed. For vorbis and Windows they would be at https://www.xiph.org/dshow/downloads/.

However, if you haven't installed them, QMediaPlayer just skips to the next song without any notification (as far as I can see).

This raises two issues:

  • How can we detect if audio playback works actually?
  • How can we make sure that the plattform codecs get conveniently installed during installation?

So far, they are an additional requirement.

How is the situation on Linux and macOS?

To test the audio playback run examples/client/audio_example.py

For Linux the requirement may be libvorbis0a?

Here and here are questions on how to play vorbis files with Qt on macOS, unfortunately they remained unanswered.
