libdash is included in VLC, can this library also be included in QtAV?

currently the only way to get data is libavformat. It's bad. But it will change. Then libdash is not a problem i think.

[wang-bin]

oh, i think it's not difficult. just like how QIODevice is supported. because libavformat can be easily extend with avio api

[wang-bin]

I added a new class AVInput. It should be easy to support dash now if there is a simple example

[Xuno]

you mean example from https://github.com/bitmovin/libdash/tree/master/libdash/qtsampleplayer ?

[wang-bin]

this example is difficult to understand. vlc's code is easier but the code is old and not use the code from https://github.com/bitmovin/libdash
