Yes. > So how can I improve the performance of the video playback inside of > QML?

So you've been using the vlc->qimage way already for QWidget, and there performance was fine? Things that I'd try: - different graphics backends (e.g. raster) - use a opengl viewport (QGLWidget) - follow e.g. http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8/qdeclarativeperformance.html > One way could be to start > the vlc player from inside my program as a new process and give him > the video file, but it would be much nicer if it would look more > native inside my program. Your performance problem doesn't seem to be the vlc rendering, but the rendering of the whole QML scene. Anyhow, using multiple threads only helps if there is something to be done in parallel. Is that the case for your app? Regards Kai Koehne _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
