## Detailed Description

Attaching a QGraphicsVideoItem to a QMediaPlayer or QCamera allows it to display the video or image output of that media object.

     player = new QMediaPlayer(this);

     QGraphicsVideoItem *item = new QGraphicsVideoItem;
     player->setVideoOutput(item);
     graphicsView->scene()->addItem(item);
     graphicsView->show();

     player->setSource(QUrl("http://example.com/myclip4.ogv"));
     player->play();

Note: Only a single display output can be attached to a media object at one time.

## Property Documentation

### aspectRatioMode : Qt::AspectRatioMode

how a video is scaled to fit the graphics item's size.

Access functions:

Qt::AspectRatioMode | aspectRatioMode() const
void | setAspectRatioMode(Qt::AspectRatioMode mode)

### `[read-only]` nativeSize : QSizeF

This property holds the native size of the video.

Access functions:

QSizeF | nativeSize() const

Notifier signal:

void | nativeSizeChanged(const QSizeF &size)

### offset : QPointF

This property holds the video item's offset.

QGraphicsVideoItem will draw video using the offset for its top left corner.

Access functions:

QPointF | offset() const
void | setOffset(const QPointF &offset)

### size : QSizeF

This property holds the video item's size.

QGraphicsVideoItem will draw video scaled to fit size according to its fillMode.

Access functions:

QSizeF | size() const
void | setSize(const QSizeF &size)

### `[read-only]` videoSink : QVideoSink* const

Returns the underlying video sink that can render video frames to the current item. This property is never `nullptr`. Example of how to render video frames to QGraphicsVideoItem:

     QGraphicsVideoItem *item = new QGraphicsVideoItem;
     graphicsView->scene()->addItem(item);
     graphicsView->show();
     QImage img = QImage("images/qt-logo.png").convertToFormat(QImage::Format_ARGB32);
     item->videoSink()->setVideoFrame(QVideoFrame(img));

Access functions:

QVideoSink * | videoSink() const | [see note below]

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

See also QMediaPlayer::setVideoOutput.

## Member Function Documentation

### `[explicit]` QGraphicsVideoItem::QGraphicsVideoItem(QGraphicsItem *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a graphics item that displays video.

The parent is passed to QGraphicsItem.

### `[override virtual noexcept]` QGraphicsVideoItem::~QGraphicsVideoItem()

Destroys a video graphics item.

### `[override virtual]` QRectF QGraphicsVideoItem::boundingRect() const

Reimplements: QGraphicsItem::boundingRect() const.

### `[override virtual]` void QGraphicsVideoItem::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget = nullptr)

Reimplements: QGraphicsItem::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget).

### `[override virtual]` int QGraphicsVideoItem::type() const

Reimplements: QGraphicsItem::type() const.

Returns an int representing the type of the video item.
