Qt Multimedia: Building simple public APIs with complex backends
Qt Multimedia is a submodule within the Qt framework that is responsible for audio and video playback, microphone/camera recording, screen-capture and more. While Qt's public APIs tend to be designed to be easy-to-use, this is ordinarily not the case when working with multimedia platform APIs.
In this talk we'll discuss some common challenges faced in Multimedia when we attempt to make several platform backends behave similarly, such as:
- The pipeline necessary for starting camera/microphone recording
- Platform specific caveats: GStreamer, Android, iOS, WebAssembly
- Programming patterns and algorithms that have proved useful
- Testing of multimedia functionality
