TkVideoPlayer inherits from tk.Label and display's the image on the label.
Below are the methods of this library.
| Methods | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|
| __init__ | scaled(bool), consistant_frame_rate(bool)=True, keep_aspect(bool)=False | The scale parameter scales the video to the label size. The consistant_frame_rate parameter skips frames to keep the framerate consistant and keep_aspect keeps aspect ratio when resizing(note: It will not increase the size) |
| set_scaled | scaled(bool), keep_aspect(bool)=False | scales the video to the label size. |
| load | file_path(str) | starts loading the video in a thread. |
| set_size | size(Tuple[int, int]), keep_aspect(bool)=False | sets the size of the video frame. setting this will set scaled to False |
| current_duration | - | return video duration in seconds. |
| video_info | - | returns dictionary containing framerate, framesize, duration. |
| play | - | Plays the video. |
| pause | - | Pauses the video |
| is_paused | - | returns if the video is currently paused. |
| stop | - | stops playing the file, closes the file. |
| seek | sec(int) | moves to specific time stamp. provide time stamp in seconds |
| keep_aspect | keep_aspect(bool) | keeps aspect ratio when resizing |
| metadata | - | returns meta information of the video if available in the form of dictionary |
| set_resampling_method | method(int) | By default the resampling method while resizing is NEAREST, changing this can affect how its resampled when image is resized, refer PIL documentation to read more (note: this can also affect the framerate of the video) |
This are events that can be binded to get your desired results
| Virtual event | Description |
|---|---|
| <<Loaded>> | This event is generated when the video file is opened. |
| <<Duration>> | This event is generated when the video duration is found. |
| <<SecondChanged>> | This event is generated whenever a second in the video passes (calculated using frame_number%frame_rate==0). |
| <<FrameGenerated>> | This event is generated whenever there is a new frame available. (internal use, don't use this unless you want to). |
| <<Ended>> | This event is generated only when the video has ended. |
note:
If you would like to draw on the video etc. Copy/fork the repo and instead of inheriting from Label inherit from Canvas.
And use image_id = self.create_image() use the image_id to update the image.
