d-pointer has developed a custom QML VideoWidget especially for streaming videos using RTSP. This is still work in progress, but we wanted to add a preview here what we have done so far. Naturally, it’s a cross platform and supports Mac, Linux and Windows. There are no dependencies to Qt Mobility or Phonon and can be used as a independent QML plugin.

On the video, we run 35 RTSP streams on Qt5/MacBookPro and as you can see, the performance is rather good. We have also QtQuick 1.x version of the VideoWidget. If you would be interested in about this solution, don’t hesitate to contact us. We have not decided yet, if we’ll open source the VideoWidget or do we provide it for free for open source applications  and with a license for commercial use.
