# Qt 6 limitations
On Qt 6, a number of modules have been removed or not yet supported. The [list of removed modules](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/whatsnew60.html#removed-modules-in-qt-6-0)
includes two important features that directly affect QZXing:
## Text codecs
QZXing used [QTextCodec](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtextcodec.html) to re-interpret the parsed strings into their proper encoding. In Qt6, QTextCodec has been moved to **core5compat** module.
After testing, it seems that QTextCodec, if used through core5compat in Qt 6, it does not support many of the encoding that it did in Qt 5 (for instance, Shift-JIS encoding).
To avoid the dependency of an extra module (that also does not work as supposed to), QTextCodec has been replaced by [QStringDecoder](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qstringdecoder.html) only when building for Qt 6.
If QZXing if build for Qt 5, QTextCodec is used as it was.
## Multimedia (Video / Camera)
Qt Multimedia modules that includes the Camera item for QML and Video related operations for frame manipulation and live decoding are not supported in Qt 6 for the moment.
To my knowledge, there is no specific replacement for this absent modules and I hope they get re-supported for Qt 6.
Thus, if building for Qt 5, everything works fine. If trying to used **qzxing_multimedia** configuration in your **pro** file, the project will fail (example: [QZXingLive](https://github.com/ftylitak/qzxing/tree/master/examples/QZXingLive) project).

Supported only for Qt 5 projects since Qt Multimedia module has been removed in Qt 6.
In case it gets re-supported for Qt 6, the examples will be updated.
