Run a Qt GUI which is able to play a video? What should I edit on the Yocto project? (using IMX8)

[killedByBugs]

Hi,

I am using i.MX8qm. I would like to run a Qt GUI with it and display the GUI on a screen. Then, the Qt GUI should be able to play videos. Can anyone suggest what I should edit/add on the Yocto project? (I guess I need to add qt-base, opengl, GStreamer.)

Thank you in advance.

Hi @killedByBugs,

I hope you are doing well

Please refer to the i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide for the qt support in yocto.

There is a meta-qt layer for the same. It is recommended to look into Table 1. i.MX Yocto project images to build the image with the qt feature.

To play the video, one can use Gstreamer. For information related to Gstreame in IMX8 kindly refer to the i.MX 8 GStreamer User Guide

OpenGL is the graphic library used for rendering purposes. Please refer to Chapter 9 Graphics from the i.MX Linux User's Guide

Thanks & Regards,
