Detailed Description
If a QMediaService can provide write access to the meta-data of its current media it will implement QMetaDataWriterControl. This control provides functions for both retrieving and setting meta-data values. Meta-data may be addressed by the keys defined in the QMediaMetaData namespace.
The functionality provided by this control is exposed to application code by the meta-data members of QMediaObject, and so meta-data access is potentially available in any of the media object classes. Any media service may implement QMetaDataControl.
The interface name of QMetaDataWriterControl is org.qt-project.qt.metadatawritercontrol/5.0
as defined in QMetaDataWriterControl_iid.
See also QMediaService::requestControl() and QMediaObject.
Member Function Documentation
[protected]
QMetaDataWriterControl::QMetaDataWriterControl(QObject *parent = nullptr)
Construct a QMetaDataWriterControl with parent. This class is meant as a base class for service specific meta data providers so this constructor is protected.
[signal]
void QMetaDataWriterControl::metaDataAvailableChanged(bool available)
Signal the availability of meta-data has changed, available will be true if the multimedia object has meta-data.
[signal]
void QMetaDataWriterControl::metaDataChanged(const QString &key, const QVariant &value)
Signal the changes of one meta-data element value with the given key.
Note: Signal metaDataChanged is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:
connect(metaDataWriterControl, QOverload<const QString &, const QVariant &>::of(&QMetaDataWriterControl::metaDataChanged), [=](const QString &key, const QVariant &value){ /* ... */ });
[signal]
void QMetaDataWriterControl::metaDataChanged()
Signal the changes of meta-data.
If multiple meta-data elements are changed, metaDataChanged(const QString &key, const QVariant &value) signal is emitted for each of them with metaDataChanged() changed emitted once.
Note: Signal metaDataChanged is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:
connect(metaDataWriterControl, QOverload<>::of(&QMetaDataWriterControl::metaDataChanged), [=](){ /* ... */ });
[signal]
void QMetaDataWriterControl::writableChanged(bool writable)
Signal a change in the writable status of meta-data, writable will be true if meta-data elements can be added or adjusted.
[virtual]
QMetaDataWriterControl::~QMetaDataWriterControl()
Destroy the meta-data writer control.
[pure virtual]
QStringList QMetaDataWriterControl::availableMetaData() const
Returns a list of keys there is meta-data available for.
[pure virtual]
bool QMetaDataWriterControl::isMetaDataAvailable() const
Identifies if meta-data is available from a media service.
Returns true if the meta-data is available and false otherwise.
[pure virtual]
bool QMetaDataWriterControl::isWritable() const
Identifies if a media service's meta-data can be edited.
Returns true if the meta-data is writable and false otherwise.
[pure virtual]
QVariant QMetaDataWriterControl::metaData(const QString &key) const
Returns the meta-data for the given key.
See also setMetaData().
[pure virtual]
void QMetaDataWriterControl::setMetaData(const QString &key, const QVariant &value)
Sets the value of the meta-data element with the given key.
See also metaData().
