Hello,
I have a Windows user that crashes consistently when the application is
trying to play a sound.
Application is built against qt5.15.19 (widget based), and we are using
QMediaPlayer to play sounds (.wav files). The user is running Windows
10.
The message just before the crash is
DirectShowPlayerService::doRender: Unknown error 0x80040266.
After some googling, I asked the user to install the codecs that can be
found here: https://codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_basic.htm
and the issue was fixed.
Besides an obvious bug in QMediaPlayer, my question is: is there a way
to detect that a codec is missing and avoid the crash by for instance
not playing the sound, or to include the codecs in the distribution
(which I am sure will cause some licensing issues) ?
Thanks
Philippe Lelong
