Can't play ogg and flac

Question

Qt 5.0.1 QMediaPlayer on 32 bit Windows XP can only play MP3 and WAV files. How can I extend it to play OGG and FLAC files too?

Answer 1

Qt's multimedia module uses the platform codecs. If you don't have codecs installed for Vorbis (it's not called Ogg; that's just the container format) and FLAC, then you won't be able to play those formats.

You can find the needed codecs here:
