Multimedia Utilities missing in freshly installed latest QNX  
I am unable to find the photon media player (phplay command gives "No such file or directory" error when run in 
terminal). I need that urgently for a project on RTOS for which I am using QNX. Also the soundfile.so plugin (mentioned 
below) is missing. I searched in all the folders mentioned in the respective documentation but the files are missing.

One can find from link http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP3/photon/multimedia/overview.html  that the following 
is included in the QNX OS:

-----
Photon Media Utilities

mixer
    Photon audio mixer 
phplay
    Photon media player 
phrecord
    Photon sound recorder 
realplayer
    RealPlayer for playing realtime audio, video and multimedia

Photon Media Player plugins

audiocd.so
    Audio CD Player 
mpegaudio
    MPEG Audio Player 
mpegsystem
    MPEG Audio/Video Player 
mpegvideo
    MPEG Video Player 
soundfile.so
    Sound file Player

-------

I tried searching on both: the QNX installed over vmware player and also on the QNX installed without virtualization. 
Both the installations are absolutely the same and don't include the files mentioned above.

When I run the command "mixer" in the terminal then Mixer runs (as expected) but I am confused why "phplay" command does
 not work similarly as they are under the same head above.


Also there's no link online to download the missing components.

From 6.4.1+ the multimedia pieces are available thru the aviage multimedia
product suite. There was a release note to this effect as part of 6.4.1:

Multimedia TDK 1.0.1
 	QNX SDP 6.4.1 doesn't support Multimedia v1.x. Applications that depend on
Multimedia v1.x will no longer resolve symbols or execute under 6.4. For
multimedia support, you need to install the QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite. (Ref#
55967)

mixer is part of the audio product so it will still be available where as the
others are not.

Re: Multimedia Utilities missing in freshly installed latest QNX  
Hi Peter,

Thanks for a quick reply.

Where can I download/buy the QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite?

I am unable to find a download link for the same on the QNX website.

Regards,
Shashank

From the base page under downloads, click All and then QNX Aviage Middleware.
Chances are you'll have to contact your sales rep to ultimately get access
to it.
