any help is much appreciated. I've been looking for a few days for something to meet the following use case. I need to open a single video player window which will play a dynamic stream of videos selected by an accompanying program. I'm on windows 10 but could probably find a way to use linux if needed.
So the flow would be as such:
- Video 1 opens in the video player window.
- On a queue sent by the same script which started the previous step, Video 1 is paused/stopped and Video 2 is played in this same window with a seamless frame to frame zero transition time.
- The script in the background does some additional processing to decide whether it wants to next play Video 3, Video 4, or Video 5. Let's say the script chooses Video 5.
- Now on conclusion of Video 2 we want to tell this same window to play video 5, again with seamless frame to frame zero transition or black screen.
Does anyone know how to do this? I've not been able to figure it out with python-vlc, OpenCV, or anything else! Please Help! Thanks!
I found this PyQt5 code (How to play multiple clips of a video one after another see ekhumoro's answer), which appears to play one video after another. However, the media is given to the window before calling app.exec()... How do I update the media source dynamically as the window is already open and playing media? AKA after app.exec() has been called?
