Qt6 and Multimedia module

Question

As I can see in Qt6 no more Multimedia API. Am I right? Is it correct that in Qt6 for such simple task as playing sound I should look at third-party libraries now?

Answer 1

Qt6 is a big change so for compatibility reasons Qt does not provide this module, it will be provided in Qt 6.2 as this post: Add-on support in Qt 6.0 and beyond points out, so if you want to reproduce sounds you will have to use a third party library.

For Qt 6.2 we are planning to provide the following additional libraries:

• Qt Bluetooth
• Qt Data Visualization
• Qt Lottie Animation
• Qt Multimedia
• Qt NFC
• Qt Positioning
• Qt Quick Dialogs: Folder, Message Box
• Qt Remote Objects
• Qt Sensors
• Qt SerialBus
• Qt SerialPort
• Qt WebChannel
• Qt WebEngine
• Qt WebSockets
• Qt WebView
