On Windows 10, after installing the video codecs with
winget install CodecGuide.K-LiteCodecPack.Basic
Using QtCreator, I can build and run the qmake project and it will play the video, https://file-examples.com/storage/fe7b7e0dc465e22bc9e6da8/2017/04/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4
However, if I build it (on same machine) with cmake project it will not play. Instead it gives
DirectShowPlayerService::doSetUrlSource: Unresolved error code 0x80004005 (Unspecified error)
Any idea of what is going on here?

#include <QApplication>

QApplication a(argc, argv);
QMediaPlayer player;
QMediaPlaylist playlist;
QVideoWidget videoWidget;
player.setVideoOutput(&videoWidget);
player.setMedia(QUrl::fromLocalFile("../video.mp4"));
player.play();
videoWidget.show();
videoWidget.resize(400, 300);
return a.exec();
