code to get access point id from access point name

Qt code to get access point name as char* from QString

+QString MediaObject::GetAccessPoint()
+{
+    QString accessPointName;
+    //Get the acecss point property from the parent(frontend Phonon::MediaObject)
+    QVariant value = parent()->property("InternetAccessPointName");
+    if(value.isValid())
+    {
+        accessPointName = value.toString();
+    }
+    
+    return accessPointName;
+}


+void MediaObject::SetAccessPoint()
+{
+    //Setup the access point for this session
+    IHXClientAppFrameWork* pAppFrameWork = CHXClientAppFrameWork::GetInstance();
+    if(pAppFrameWork)
+    {
+        CHXAccessPointSetup* pAPSetup = NULL;
+        HX_RESULT hr = pAppFrameWork->QueryInterface(IID_IHXAccessPointSelector, (void**)&pAPSetup);
+        if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
+        {
+            QString accessPointName = GetAccessPoint();
+            //Convert QString to char*/CHxString
+            QByteArray byteArray(accessPointName.toLocal8Bit());
+            int len = byteArray.size();

In above mentione code, you will have to pass accesspoint thru CvideoPlayerUtility rather than using Helix Interfaces I guess [I am not familier with MMF based CvideoPlayerUtility usage]


For the test code, I have hard coded the AccessPoint Name in the PhononPlayer before issuing setCurrentSource on MediaObject instance.

code snipet:

+ pMediaObject->setProperty("InternetAccessPointName", "na3gnet");
+ pMediaObject->setCurrentSource(...);
