[Windows] Controls do not work in PyQT (?)
Take this code for instance.
class MainWin(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
self.container = QWidget(self)
self.setCentralWidget(self.container)
self.container.setAttribute(Qt.WA_DontCreateNativeAncestors)
self.container.setAttribute(Qt.WA_NativeWindow)
self.setWindowTitle(title)
self.resize(1000, 563)
player = mpv.MPV(wid=str(int(self.container.winId())), ytdl=True, player_operation_mode='pseudo-gui',
script_opts='osc-layout=box,osc-seekbarstyle=bar,osc-deadzonesize=0,osc-minmousemove=3',
input_default_bindings=True,
input_vo_keyboard=True,
osc=True)
@player.on_key_press('esc')
def my_key_binding():
print('')
sys.exit()
player.play(url)
# player.wait_for_playback()
del player
It works pretty well, it plays video in the window and it read the video from the url variable and the window title from title. Yet despite me having set not only the pseudo-gui and keyboard bindings, neither of them initiate so inside my window is video playing with no keyboard or in-window controls. I am relatively new to PyQt, so maybe this is a simple to fix issue.
Another oddity with the PyQt integration is that wait_for_playback() is automatic, and actually trying to call it prevents the video from playing.
I really like this module, and it is very handy for several of my video projects (ie this)
I don't know Qt that well myself, but I guess the problem is that Qt catches all input events and they never get forwarded to mpv. My first idea on how to make this work without rewriting all of libmpv's input bindings would be to catch all key press events on the player QWidget and forward them into mpv using the keypress command. There is also a mouse command if you want mouse input as well.
The reason wait_for_playback doesn't work is that you were calling it in the constructor of your Qt window. This means it would wait before even displaying the window. Since Qt has its own main loop (the app.exec()), there shouldn't be any need for you to call wait_for_playback. Either have the user close the window through user interaction, or you register an event callback with mpv using MPV.register_event_callback that looks for event['event_id'] in (MpvEventID.SHUTDOWN, MpvEventID.END_FILE) and tells qt to exit when it sees one.
Thank you very much @jaseg for your helpful answer. I have tried using the keypress and keybind commands yet they do not seem to work
#First I tried this
player.command('keybind esc stop')
player.command('keybind right seek 1 relative')
#And then I tried
player.keybind('esc stop')
player.keybind('right seek 1 relative')
Example errors I get:

And when I tried using @player it errored

Do you have any further suggestions? Thank you.

it registers commands, but does them all in a seperate process, which upon exiting plays the video. I couldn't seem to get keypress or keybind to give me anything but my prior error.

Do you have suggestions? Thank you.
Are you on windows? For me the inbuilt libmpv controls work on Linux but not on Windows. This is the output on windows: Mpv Output when I run the mpv pyqt example from the readme (without the vo='x11' option of course) PyQt Mpv Code. It seems strange that qt would be catching the input on windows but not on linux but who knows. Do you have some ideas how this could be investigated further? I would like to have a more in-depth look at this.
I found a stackoverflow post on keypresses in PyQt, I will try to tweak it to input to mpv. https://stackoverflow.com/q/38507011/
player commands aren't working
self.player.command('seek', '0.2', 'absolute+keyframes')
AttributeError: 'MainWin' object has no attribute 'player'
def __init__(self, parent=None): #, parent=None
super(MainWin, self).__init__(parent) #parent
self.container = QWidget(self)
self.setCentralWidget(self.container)
self.container.setAttribute(Qt.WA_DontCreateNativeAncestors)
self.container.setAttribute(Qt.WA_NativeWindow)
self.setWindowTitle(title)
self.resize(1000, 563)
self.player = mpv.MPV(wid=str(int(self.container.winId())), ytdl=True, player_operation_mode='pseudo-gui',
script_opts='osc-layout=box,osc-seekbarstyle=bar,osc-deadzonesize=0,osc-minmousemove=3',
input_default_bindings=True,
input_vo_keyboard=True,
osc=True) #
self.player.play(url)
#player.wait_for_playback()
del self.player
def keyPressEvent(self, event):
if event.key() == Qt.Key_Q:
print("Quitting")
sys.exit('quit')
elif event.key() == Qt.Key_Right:
self.player.command('seek', '0.2', 'absolute+keyframes')
event.accept()
Sorry in my gist I forgot the options: player_operation_mode='pseudo-gui' , input_default_bindings=True, input_vo_keyboard=True,osc=True.
But on Linux (Manjaro Linux x86_64, 5.3.18-1-MANJARO), mpv 0.32.0, ffmpeg version: n4.2.2
the inbuilt gui of libmpv is shown without problem and I can interact with it without forwarding any events to mpv. Therefore this might rather be a problem with the libmpv dll on Windows or what do you think?
That seems very likely, but I cannot run any VM because of credential guard (whatever that is).
I'll continue tweaking the code; and if I cannot find a solution then I can mark it up to libmpv on windows
