I am trying to display streamed video in a GUI I created using PAGE. I can’t get the references to the Class to work. In line 82 I have: self.Frame1.CanvasZ.after(10, video_stream). Python says: AttributeError: 'Toplevel1' object has no attribute 'CanvasZ'. I’ve tried putting self.Frame1.CanvasZ, Frame1.CanvasZ, etc. but nothing works. The video stream code works fine in a standalone app, but doesn't in the class. I've also tried variations with Canvas.create_image (line 127).
Can someone telling me the secret of getting this to work?

You certainly can use tkinter for this, but you might want to take a look at wxpython phoenix (The new wxpython for python 3)
It has built in video controls,
see: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/w...aCtrl.html
and quite a few others:
Qt almost certainly has them as well.
I'm partial to wxpython because it's royality free for both commercial and non commercial applications.

There is also a module for pyqt that I have a working bit of code for that was created by someone else. The module is called CV2

wx.MediaCtrl is a class that allows a way to convieniently display
various types of media, such as videos, audio files, natively through
native codecs. Several different formats of audio and video files are
supported, but some formats may not be playable on all platforms or
may require specific codecs to be installed.

wx.MediaCtrl uses native backends to render media, for example on Windows
there is a ActiveMovie/DirectShow backend, and on Macintosh there is a
QuickTime backend.

I tried running metulburr's example and don't understand. What is the purpose of the section starting at 162? Is this supposed to be in a different file? If I run it as is, I get AttributeError: module 'run' has no attribute 'main'. If I save above 162 to run.py and the rest to foo.py and run foo, it says AttributeError: module 'run' has no attribute 'main'. I am new enough at python to know I'm missing something important.

Sorry, my fault. That is the example code that works with the embedded demo. There is code in there that expects it to be ran in their demo (the run module, the default video path, etc.)
To split it out on its own you have to not use their run module. That is only for running inside their demo program. Which i modified at the end there for you. The HTML part is just for the demo to show text. You dont need that at all.
The following is that example modified to run by itself.

I've adapted my project to PyQt5 but have failed on getting the video to work.
This version fails to "connect() failed between Thread.changePixmap[QImage] and setImage()" in line 76. I've done some other tests where I managed to get it to connect, but it failed with "Thread destroyed before being terminated" (or maybe the opposite of that).

(This post was last modified: Sep-04-2019, 02:34 PM by Denni.)
Okay first off you are improperly using QThread probably because the documentation you used is in error (a known issue that has not been resolved yet) as a QThread should not be sub-classed due to its the nature of how it functions - sub-classing it as you did and/or the documentation describes creates a situation that creates unexpected results.
Still with that said - I cannot help you with the QThread issue here but I will state that I know that CV2 does not need to use QThread if you want more help with CV2 and have Discord I can invite you to the Python server (just PM me) as one of my students is using the CV2 module and has already implemented that functionality via a Class
That being said though I will share with you more properly set up program that can handle adding in these features.
In your program you do several unnecessary things:
1) Reference sys.argv but never use it
2) Implement the complexity of the RetranslateUI functionality but not really need it
Which includes: Using retranslateUi function, setting ObjectNames and using QMetaObject
Did a few things improperly and/or nonfunctionally
1) Defined a Menu Action that is never defined
2) Used the Coordinate System instead of PyQt Layout system
3) Used QRect this is rarely if ever needed when using the Layout system
4) Import the entirety of QtCore, QtGui, and QtWidgets only import what you need
-- you then also imported an aspect of QtCore which would have been redundant
5) Import socket and time but I did not see them being used anywhere
So to help here is a redesign of the code that implements everything but QThread and CV2 but gives you a solid template to go forward from should you want to use this to implement your CV2 and/or QThread(if determined you actually need it) from as well as implement additional changes to your Center Panel -- note some of what I have done is pure style but most of my style is meant to make things more easily readable later on since I might have to come back to in a month or two after I have completely forgotten what I was doing with it and believe me that does happen.

Thanks very much Denni, I will look this over and try to figure out the differences. FWIW, I used the Qt Designer for the code and then stripped all of the buttons and boxes that weren't relevant to the video. Some of the things like the menu seem to be from the designer.
I added the thread as "the solution recommended on other posts." They could be outdated. As a standalone app, the sample I took the thread from works fine. I could never get it integrated into my code. I'm all for the simplest solution so lowing the thread isn't an issue.
I have never used "Discord".
