## Detailed Description

The QMediaContent class provides access to the resources relating to a media content.

QMediaContent is used within the multimedia framework as the logical handle to media content. A QMediaContent object is composed of one or more QMediaResources where each resource provides the URL and format information of a different encoding of the content.

A non-null QMediaContent will always have a primary or canonical reference to the content available through the canonicalUrl() or canonicalResource() methods, any additional resources are optional.

Alternatively QMediaContent can represent a playlist and contain a pointer to a valid QMediaPlaylist object. In this case URL is optional and can either be empty or point to the playlist URL.

Set takeOwnership to true if you want QMediaContent to take ownership of the playlist. takeOwnership is set to false by default.

### QMediaContent::~QMediaContent()

Destroys the media content object.

### QNetworkRequest QMediaContent::canonicalRequest() const

Returns a QNetworkRequest that represents that canonical resource for this media content.

### QMediaResource QMediaContent::canonicalResource() const

Returns a QMediaResource that represents that canonical resource for this media content.

### QUrl QMediaContent::canonicalUrl() const

Returns a QUrl that represents that canonical resource for this media content.

### bool QMediaContent::isNull() const

Returns true if this media content is null (uninitialized); false otherwise.

### QMediaPlaylist * QMediaContent::playlist() const

Returns a playlist for this media content or 0 if this QMediaContent is not a playlist.

### QMediaResourceList QMediaContent::resources() const

### bool QMediaContent::operator!=(const QMediaContent & other) const

Returns true if other is not equivalent to this media content; false otherwise.

### QMediaContent & QMediaContent::operator=(const QMediaContent & other)

Assigns the value of other to this media content.

### bool QMediaContent::operator==(const QMediaContent & other) const
