<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just starting to look at PyQT, running QT 5.10.1 on Win 7 Pro SP1. I’ve been working through some basic tutorials but I’m wanting to be able to display video, none of the examples I’ve tried so far have worked. After doing a bit of
googling I can’t say I’ve turned up much. This post suggested a video codec issue:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42801979/error-using-qmediaplayer-with-pyqt5-on-windows">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42801979/error-using-qmediaplayer-with-pyqt5-on-windows</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve installed the full K-Lite codec pack but that hasn’t resolved the issue. The test files I’m using (mp4, wmv, webm) all run in VLC, Windows Media Player and Chrome without issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using the example in the above stackoverflow post if I set local = QUrl('http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4') then I can hear the video’s audio track so something’s roughly working.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve tried the three examples here:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All of them error:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Suggests codec issues again that can possibly resolved by changing something when compiling a QT app but I’ve no idea if that’s relatable to PyQT.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Any advice is very welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
