Session Summary
In this session, we will look at the core functionalities of Qt Multimedia, address the challenges of ensuring consistent behavior across various platforms, and discuss our strategic transition to FFmpeg as a cross-platform backend. This move from native platform backends to FFmpeg has implications for both Qt contributors and users. We encourage an open and constructive discussion on the direction we are taking.
