Video¶
The Video widget is used to display video files and streams. Depending on your Video core provider, platform, and plugins, you will be able to play different formats. For example, the pygame video provider only supports MPEG1 on Linux and OSX. GStreamer is more versatile, and can read many video containers and codecs such as MKV, OGV, AVI, MOV, FLV (if the correct gstreamer plugins are installed). Our VideoBase implementation is used under the hood.
Video loading is asynchronous - many properties are not available until the video is loaded (when the texture is created):
def on_position_change(instance, value):
print('The position in the video is', value)
def on_duration_change(instance, value):
print('The duration of the video is', video)
video = Video(source='PandaSneezes.avi')
video.bind(position=on_position_change,
duration=on_duration_change)
- class kivy.uix.video.Video(**kwargs)[source]¶
Bases: kivy.uix.image.Image
Video class. See module documentation for more information.
- duration¶
Duration of the video. The duration defaults to -1, and is set to a real duration when the video is loaded.
duration is a NumericProperty and defaults to -1.
- eos¶
Boolean, indicates whether the video has finished playing or not (reached the end of the stream).
eos is a BooleanProperty and defaults to False.
- loaded¶
Boolean, indicates whether the video is loaded and ready for playback or not.
New in version 1.6.0.
loaded is a BooleanProperty and defaults to False.
- options¶
Options to pass at Video core object creation.
New in version 1.0.4.
options is an kivy.properties.ObjectProperty and defaults to {}.
- play¶
Deprecated since version 1.4.0: Use state instead.
Boolean, indicates whether the video is playing or not. You can start/stop the video by setting this property:
# start playing the video at creation video = Video(source='movie.mkv', play=True) # create the video, and start later video = Video(source='movie.mkv') # and later video.play = True
play is a BooleanProperty and defaults to False.
Deprecated since version 1.4.0: Use state instead.
- position¶
Position of the video between 0 and duration. The position defaults to -1 and is set to a real position when the video is loaded.
position is a NumericProperty and defaults to -1.
- seek(percent)[source]¶
Change the position to a percentage of duration. Percentage must be a value between 0-1.
Warning
Calling seek() before the video is loaded has no impact.
New in version 1.2.0.
- state¶
String, indicates whether to play, pause, or stop the video:
# start playing the video at creation video = Video(source='movie.mkv', state='play') # create the video, and start later video = Video(source='movie.mkv') # and later video.state = 'play'
state is an OptionProperty and defaults to ‘play’.
- volume¶
Volume of the video, in the range 0-1. 1 means full volume, 0 means mute.
volume is a NumericProperty and defaults to 1.
