[PyQt] Newbie question - Quicktime

[Sebastian Elsner]

Hey Hugo,

it's not working here either. But this might be because the backend is 
not able to play it. Which OS are you on? I am on windows XP and I think 
QT is not supported there for phonon. Start the capabilities app, which 
comes with the pyqt phonon examples. There you can find what is 
supported on you system.

Cheers

Sebastian
