PyQt6: Audio and Video Playback

Audio and video playback are essential features in many applications, enabling users to enjoy multimedia content seamlessly. PyQt6 provides powerful tools for integrating audio and video playback into your applications, allowing for the creation of rich multimedia experiences.

In this article, we will explore how to implement audio and video playback in PyQt6. We will start by setting up the development environment and understanding the basics of PyQt6 Multimedia. Then, we will learn how to play audio and video files, build a simple media player, and implement advanced features such as playback controls and media event handling.

Setting Up the Development Environment

Before we dive into audio and video playback, we need to set up our development environment. This includes installing Python, PyQt6, and PyQt6 Multimedia, and ensuring we have everything ready to start writing and running PyQt6 applications.

Installing Python and PyQt6

To get started, ensure you have Python installed on your computer. PyQt6 requires Python 3.6 or later. You can download the latest version of Python from the official Python website. Once Python is installed, open your command prompt or terminal and install PyQt6 using the pip package manager by running the following commands:

pip install PyQt6
python -m pip install --index-url https://riverbankcomputing.com/pypi/simple/ --pre --upgrade PyQt6

Setting Up a Development Environment

To write and run your PyQt6 code, you can use any text editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Some popular choices include PyCharm, a powerful IDE for Python with support for PyQt6; VS Code, a lightweight and versatile code editor with Python extensions; and Sublime Text, a simple yet efficient text editor. Choose the one that you’re most comfortable with.

Writing a Simple PyQt6 Application

To ensure everything is set up correctly, let’s write a simple PyQt6 application that creates a window with a basic layout.

  1. Create a New Python File: Open your IDE or text editor and create a new Python file named simple_layout.py.
  2. Write the Code: Copy and paste the following code into your simple_layout.py file:
import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QLabel

# Create an instance of QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create a QWidget instance (main window)
window = QWidget()
window.setWindowTitle('Simple Layout Example')
window.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 200)

# Create a QVBoxLayout instance
layout = QVBoxLayout()

# Create QLabel instances
label1 = QLabel('Label 1')
label2 = QLabel('Label 2')

# Add the QLabel instances to the QVBoxLayout
layout.addWidget(label1)
layout.addWidget(label2)

# Set the layout for the main window
window.setLayout(layout)

# Show the main window
window.show()

# Run the application's event loop
sys.exit(app.exec())

  1. Run the Script: Save your file and run it. You should see a window with two labels arranged vertically.

In the code above, we start by importing the necessary modules from PyQt6, including QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, and QLabel.

Next, we create an instance of the QApplication class, which is required for any PyQt6 application. This instance manages application-wide resources and settings.

We then create an instance of QWidget, which serves as the main window of the application. We set the title of the window using the setWindowTitle method and define the position and size of the window using the setGeometry method.

A QVBoxLayout instance is created, and two QLabel widgets are added to the layout using the addWidget method.

The layout is set for the main window using the setLayout method. Finally, we display the main window using the show method and start the application’s event loop with sys.exit(app.exec()). This event loop waits for user interactions and handles them accordingly, keeping the application running until the user closes the window.

By following these steps, you have successfully set up your development environment and created a simple PyQt6 application with a basic layout. In the next sections, we’ll explore how to implement audio and video playback in PyQt6.

Understanding Audio and Video Playback in PyQt6

PyQt6 Multimedia provides classes and functions for audio and video playback, allowing developers to integrate multimedia content into their applications seamlessly.

Introduction to PyQt6 Multimedia

PyQt6 Multimedia is a module that provides multimedia support, including audio and video playback, capture, and processing. It offers a set of classes and methods to handle multimedia content efficiently.

Supported Formats and Codecs

PyQt6 Multimedia supports a wide range of audio and video formats and codecs, including MP3, WAV, MP4, AVI, and more. The availability of specific formats and codecs depends on the underlying multimedia framework and system capabilities.

Playing Audio Files

Playing audio files in PyQt6 is straightforward using the QMediaPlayer class. This class provides functionality to load, play, pause, and stop audio files.

Using QMediaPlayer for Audio Playback

QMediaPlayer is a versatile class that can be used to play audio and video files. It supports various formats and provides methods to control playback.

Basic Properties and Methods

  • setMedia: Loads the media file.
  • play: Starts playback.
  • pause: Pauses playback.
  • stop: Stops playback.
  • setVolume: Sets the volume level.
  • positionChanged: Signal emitted when the playback position changes.
  • durationChanged: Signal emitted when the media duration changes.

Code Example: Playing an Audio File

To play an audio file using QMediaPlayer, follow these steps:

  1. Create a New Python File: Open your IDE or text editor and create a new Python file named play_audio.py.
  2. Write the Code: Copy and paste the following code into your play_audio.py file:
import sys
import os
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QLabel
from PyQt6.QtMultimedia import QMediaPlayer, QAudioOutput
from PyQt6.QtCore import QUrl


class AudioPlayerWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle('Audio Player Example')
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 200)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()

        self.label = QLabel('Press the button to play audio')
        layout.addWidget(self.label)

        self.play_button = QPushButton('Play Audio')
        self.play_button.clicked.connect(self.play_audio)
        layout.addWidget(self.play_button)

        self.pause_button = QPushButton('Pause Audio')
        self.pause_button.clicked.connect(self.pause_audio)
        layout.addWidget(self.pause_button)

        self.stop_button = QPushButton('Stop Audio')
        self.stop_button.clicked.connect(self.stop_audio)
        layout.addWidget(self.stop_button)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.player = QMediaPlayer()
        self.audio_output = QAudioOutput()
        self.player.setAudioOutput(self.audio_output)

        # Set the path to the audio file
        self.audio_file_path = 'audio.mp3'
        if not os.path.exists(self.audio_file_path):
            self.label.setText('Audio file not found!')

    def play_audio(self):
        if os.path.exists(self.audio_file_path):
            self.player.setSource(QUrl.fromLocalFile(self.audio_file_path))
            self.player.play()
            self.label.setText('Playing audio...')
            print(f'Playing audio from: {self.audio_file_path}')
        else:
            self.label.setText('Audio file not found!')
            print('Audio file not found!')

    def pause_audio(self):
        self.player.pause()
        self.label.setText('Audio paused.')

    def stop_audio(self):
        self.player.stop()
        self.label.setText('Audio stopped.')


# Create an instance of QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create and display the audio player window
window = AudioPlayerWindow()
window.show()

# Run the application's event loop
sys.exit(app.exec())

  1. Run the Script: Save your file, replace 'audio.mp3' with the path to your audio file, and run it. You should see a window with buttons that allow you to play, pause, stop, and seek the video when clicked.

We define a custom widget class AudioPlayerWindow that inherits from QWidget. In the constructor, we set the window title and geometry, create a QVBoxLayout, and add a label and a button to the layout.

We create an instance of QMediaPlayer and QAudioOutput. We set the audio output for the media player and load the audio file using the setSource method.

By following these steps, you have successfully played an audio file using QMediaPlayer in a PyQt6 application. In the next section, we will explore how to play video files.

Playing Video Files

Playing video files in PyQt6 involves using the QMediaPlayer class for playback and the QVideoWidget class for displaying the video.

Using QMediaPlayer and QVideoWidget for Video Playback

QMediaPlayer handles the playback of the video file, while QVideoWidget displays the video content in a widget.

Basic Properties and Methods

  • setMedia: Loads the media file.
  • setVideoOutput: Sets the video output widget.
  • play: Starts playback.
  • pause: Pauses playback.
  • stop: Stops playback.
  • setVolume: Sets the volume level.
  • positionChanged: Signal emitted when the playback position changes.
  • durationChanged: Signal emitted when the media duration changes.

class VideoPlayerWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle('Video Player Example')
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 800, 600)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()

        # Video widget to display the video
        self.video_widget = QVideoWidget()
        layout.addWidget(self.video_widget)

        # Status label
        self.status_label = QLabel('Status: Ready')
        layout.addWidget(self.status_label)

        # Create buttons for controlling the video
        self.play_button = QPushButton('Play Video')

        self.stop_button.clicked.connect(self.stop_video)
        layout.addWidget(self.stop_button)

        self.seek_forward_button = QPushButton('Seek Forward (10s)')
        self.seek_forward_button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.seek_video(10))
        layout.addWidget(self.seek_forward_button)

        self.seek_backward_button = QPushButton('Seek Backward (10s)')
        self.seek_backward_button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.seek_video(-10))
        layout.addWidget(self.seek_backward_button)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        # Media player setup
        self.player = QMediaPlayer()
        self.audio_output = QAudioOutput()
        self.player.setAudioOutput(self.audio_output)
        self.player.setVideoOutput(self.video_widget)
        self.player.setSource(QUrl.fromLocalFile('video.mp4'))  # Update to your video file path

    def play_video(self):
        self.player.play()
        self.status_label.setText('Status: Playing')

    def pause_video(self):
        self.player.pause()
        self.status_label.setText('Status: Paused')

    def stop_video(self):
        self.player.stop()
        self.status_label.setText('Status: Stopped')

    def seek_video(self, seconds):
        current_position = self.player.position()
        new_position = current_position + (seconds * 1000)  # Convert to milliseconds
        self.player.setPosition(new_position)
        self.status_label.setText(f'Status: Seeking to {new_position / 1000} seconds')


# Create an instance of QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create and display the video player window
window = VideoPlayerWindow()
window.show()

# Run the application's event loop
sys.exit(app.exec())

  1. Run the Script: Save your file, replace 'video.mp4' with the path to your video file, and run it. You should see a window containing a video widget and buttons that allow you to play, pause, stop, and seek the video when clicked.

We define a custom widget class VideoPlayerWindow that inherits from QWidget. In the constructor, we set the window title and geometry, create a QVBoxLayout, and add a video widget and a button to the layout.

We create an instance of QMediaPlayer, QAudioOutput, and QVideoWidget. We set the audio output and video output for the media player and load the video file using the setSource method.

By following these steps, you have successfully played a video file using QMediaPlayer and QVideoWidget in a PyQt6 application. In the next section, we will explore how to build a simple media player.

We create an instance of QMediaPlayer, QAudioOutput, and QVideoWidget. We set the audio output and video output for the media player.

The play_media, pause_media, and stop_media methods control the playback of the media player. The open_file method opens a file dialog to select a media file and loads it into the media player.

By following these steps, you have successfully built a simple media player that can play both audio and video files in a PyQt6 application. In the next section, we will explore how to implement advanced media player features.

Advanced Media Player Features

To enhance the media player, we can implement advanced features such as playback controls, volume control, and mute functionality.

Implementing Playback Controls (Play, Pause, Stop)

Playback controls allow users to control the playback of media files, including playing, pausing, and stopping the media.

Implementing Volume Control and Mute

Volume control allows users to adjust the volume level of the media, and mute functionality allows users to mute the audio.

Code Example: Advanced Media Player

To implement advanced media player features, follow these steps:

  1. Create a New Python File: Open your IDE or text editor and create a new Python file named advanced_media_player.py.
  2. Write the Code: Copy and paste the following code into your advanced_media_player.py file:
import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QSlider, QFileDialog
from PyQt6.QtMultimedia import QMediaPlayer, QAudioOutput
from PyQt6.QtMultimediaWidgets import QVideoWidget
from PyQt6.QtCore import QUrl, Qt

class AdvancedMediaPlayer(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle('Advanced Media Player')
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 800, 600)

        layout.addWidget(self.play_button)

        self.pause_button = QPushButton('Pause')
        self.pause_button.clicked.connect(self.pause_media)
        layout.addWidget(self.pause_button)

        self.stop_button = QPushButton('Stop')
        self.stop_button.clicked.connect(self.stop_media)
        layout.addWidget(self.stop_button)

        self.open_button = QPushButton('Open File')
        self.open_button.clicked.connect(self.open_file)
        layout.addWidget(self.open_button)

        self.volume_slider = QSlider(Qt.Orientation.Horizontal)
        self.volume_slider.setRange(0, 100)
        self.volume_slider.setValue(50)
        self.volume_slider.valueChanged.connect(self.set_volume)
        layout.addWidget(self.volume_slider)

        self.mute_button = QPushButton('Mute')
        self.mute_button.setCheckable(True)
        self.mute_button.clicked.connect(self.toggle_mute)
        layout.addWidget(self.mute_button)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.player = QMediaPlayer()
        self.audio_output = QAudioOutput()
        self.player.setAudioOutput(self.audio_output)
        self.player.setVideoOutput(self.video_widget)

    def play_media(self):
        self.player.play()

    def pause_media(self):
        self.player.pause()

    def stop_media(self):
        self.player.stop()

    def open_file(self):
        file_path, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open Media File', '', 'Media Files (*.mp3 *.mp4 *.wav *.avi)')
        if file_path:
            self.player.setSource(QUrl.fromLocalFile(file_path))

    def set_volume(self, value):
        self.audio_output.setVolume(value / 100)

    def toggle_mute(self):
        self.audio_output.setMuted(self.mute_button.isChecked())

# Create an instance of QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create and display the advanced media player
window = AdvancedMediaPlayer()
window.show()

# Run the application's event loop
sys.exit(app.exec())

  1. Run the Script: Save your file and run it. You should see a window with playback controls, volume control, and mute functionality.

We define a custom widget class AdvancedMediaPlayer that inherits from QWidget. In the constructor, we set the window title and geometry, create a QVBoxLayout, and add a video widget, playback controls, volume slider, and mute button to the layout.

We create an instance of QMediaPlayer, QAudioOutput, and QVideoWidget. We set the audio output and video output for the media player.

The play_media, pause_media, and stop_media methods control the playback of the media player. The open_file method opens a file dialog to select a media file and loads it into the media player. The set_volume method adjusts the volume level based on the slider value, and the toggle_mute method toggles the mute state of the audio output.

By following these steps, you have successfully implemented advanced media player features, including playback controls, volume control, and mute functionality, in a PyQt6 application. In the next section, we will explore how to handle media events.

Handling Media Events

Handling media events allows you to respond to changes in the media playback state, such as updating the user interface or performing actions when media playback starts or stops.

Connecting Signals and Slots for Media Events

Connect signals and slots to handle media events, such as positionChanged, durationChanged, and stateChanged.

Code Example: Handling Media Events

To handle media events in a media player, follow these steps:

  1. Create a New Python File: Open your IDE or text editor and create a new Python file named media_events.py.
  2. Write the Code: Copy and paste the following code into your media_events.py file:

        if duration > 0:
            self.status_label.setText('Status: Duration Loaded')  # Inform the user

    def set_position(self, position):
        self.player.setPosition(position)

    def update_status(self, state):
        if state == QMediaPlayer.PlaybackState.PlayingState:

            self.status_label.setText('Status: Stopped')


# Create an instance of QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create and display the media events player
window = MediaEventsPlayer()
window.show()

# Run the application's event loop
sys.exit(app.exec())

  1. Run the Script: Save your file and run it. You should see a window with playback controls, a status label, and a position slider that updates based on the media playback state.

We define a custom widget class MediaEventsPlayer that inherits from QWidget. In the constructor, we set the window title and geometry, create a QVBoxLayout, and add a video widget, playback controls, a status label, and a position slider to the layout.

We create an instance of QMediaPlayer, QAudioOutput, and QVideoWidget. We set the audio output and video output for the media player.

We connect the media player’s signals (positionChanged, durationChanged, and stateChanged) to the corresponding slots (update_position, update_duration, and update_status) to handle media events.

The play_media, pause_media, and stop_media methods control the playback of the media player. The open_file method opens a file dialog to select a media file and loads it into the media player. The update_position method updates the position slider based on the current playback position. The update_duration method updates the range of the position slider based on the media duration. The set_position method sets the playback position based on the slider value. The update_status method updates the status label based on the media player’s playback state.

By following these steps, you have successfully handled media events in a PyQt6 application.
