While I'm experimenting I may have another go at using phonon. How do
you set the backend to use? just by putting a phonon_backend directory
in my program's folder?? The important thing for me is the ability to
send extra commands to the vlc backend such as '--autocrop' or setting
the playback rate. Can this be done through phonon?
Best regards,
Tim

Just out of curiosity, why don't you use phonon?
I currently using mplayer and saw that phonon can now display rtsp streams
(which I use)
Is there a reason not to use phonon and go with mplayer/vlc?

Thanks, I'm giving VLC a try and it seems to be working okay. Probably a
question for the VLC forums (I'll copy a post there in a minute...), but
I don't understand why I can't get autocropping to work. I'm using
"""self.Instance = vlc.Instance("--no-audio", "--play-and-pause",
"--autocrop") """ within my program, and I've tried using the same
arguments on the command line but no joy. Should I be adding any other
arguments to include this filter? I'm using the precompiled version of
vlc.py which came with the Qt bindings; under Windows 7, PyQt4 and
Python 3.2.
MPlayer was also working well embedded into a QWidget, only the
background was destroyed in resizing when paused or stopped as described
in my earlier posting below. I attempted also to take screenshots using
QPixmap.grabWindow() and .grabWidget() but these only return an empty
image. I'd still like to understand this behaviour if anyone has any
ideas. Thanks.

If you can use VLC instead of Mplayer, there are Python/Qt bindings
for it that seem to work fine

I've been successful in embedding the MPlayer video player into a
QWidget thanks to the PyMPlayer application
(http://code.google.com/p/python-mplayer/). Resizing the QWidget
resizes a movie just fine while the movie is playing, but once a
movie is paused or stopped, no resizing of the displayed frame
occurrs and even worse, if the window size is decreased so that it
covers the movie, that area of the movie frame is erased. I'm
wondering if someone could suggest what issues 'might' be involved
here? Thanks for any ideas!
