QMediaPlayer wrong parse url with cyrillic on Windows

The issue you're encountering with QMediaPlayer incorrectly parsing URLs with Cyrillic characters on Windows might be related to character encoding. Here are a few steps you can take to address this issue:

1. Encode the URL Properly: Make sure the URL you provide to QMediaPlayer is properly encoded. URLs should be encoded using URL encoding (also known as percent encoding) to handle special characters like Cyrillic letters. You can use the QUrl::toEncoded() function to encode the URL properly before passing it to QMediaPlayer.

   cppCopy code
   QString urlString = "your_cyrillic_url";
   
   QUrl url = QUrl::fromUserInput(urlString);
   
   QUrl encodedUrl = url.toEncoded();
   
   
   
   QMediaPlayer *player = new QMediaPlayer;
   
   player->setMedia(encodedUrl);
   
   

2. Specify the URL Encoding: If the above step doesn't work, you can try specifying the URL encoding explicitly using the QUrl::fromEncoded() function.

   cppCopy code
   QByteArray encodedData = url.toEncoded();
   
   QUrl encodedUrl = QUrl::fromEncoded(encodedData);
   
   
   
   QMediaPlayer *player = new QMediaPlayer;
   
   player->setMedia(encodedUrl);
   
   

3. Check the URL Format: Ensure that the URL format you're providing to QMediaPlayer is correct. URLs with special characters like Cyrillic letters might need to be encoded differently depending on the context (e.g., whether they are part of the path, query, or fragment).

4. Update to the Latest Qt Version: If you're using an older version of Qt, consider updating to the latest version. Bugs related to character encoding and URL parsing might have been addressed in newer releases.

If the issue persists despite trying the above steps, you might want to look into Qt's bug tracker to see if there are any known issues related to URL parsing with Cyrillic characters. If not, consider reporting the issue to the Qt community so that it can be addressed in future releases.
