wx media

I was just wondering if anyone has implemented simple video playback using Python. I tried the example below with wx.media but no success with DTS movies. Does anyone know how to use this example to pass DTS streams as a passthrough(no decoding needed) to SPDIF out. The example works with Dolby stream. Thanks.

wxMediaCtrl is really just a wrapper around the platform-appropriate standard media player*. Does your video play in the appropriate player? If yes, it should be pretty simple to get working. If no, wxMediaCtrl may not be the appropriate way to go.

  • (That would be Windows Media Player or QuickTime player, depending on format, on Windows, QuickTime player on Mac, or gstreamer on Linux.)

I just tried my Windows Media Player and it actually passes DTS stream out.

The file is *.VOB format, basically a DVD title.

I just figured out that wx media uses the classic Windows Media Player, which seems to work with Dolby but not DTS at the moment.

Check into specifying a
back end. You can specify the
DirectShow back end, which may be what you mean by “classic Windows Media
Player,” or you can specify the newer WMP. It’s the later, wxMEDIABACKEND_WMP10, that you want, I
think.

Tried that and somehow WMP 10 does not load the video. I just need to somehow get Windows Media Classic player using the backend

wxMEDIABACKEND_DIRECTSHOW

to work with DTS. Installed AC3filter but no luck yet.

You might look at the Mythbuntu project. It's mostly written in Python and I would be surprised if they couldn't play VOB files. They use pyGTK for their front-end (I think), but their code might give you some clues anyway...or check out pymedia (http://pymedia.org/tut/)

I tried pymedia video player example, but it gives me some funky error.
It just surprises me that somehow I can't get AC3filter to work with VOB
titles with DTS audio. When I play VOB titles with Dolby in Windows
Media Classic using wx.media and right click to View
Propertie->Advanced, I can see AC3filter is being used, just not the
case for DTS audio. I think AC3filter does not recognize the format
somehow.

I got Windows Media Player 10 to work but it's too slow on load and
play. I think it tries to load all titles on the disc. Windows Media
Classic can load per title so it's much faster. Unfortunately it does
not work with DTS audio. It would be nice if there was a VLC backend or
a simple way to write a VLC backend for wxpython.
