VideoPlayer

SimpleKivy.SimpleKivy.VideoPlayer(source='', k=None, **kwargs)

Creates a VideoPlayer widget dynamically with added functionalities.

Parameters

k: None, str, or NOTKEY

Key specification for quick acess:

• None: Automatically sets an int value.

• str: Use specific string key.

• NOTKEY: Special flag indicating no key should be used.

size: str or sequence of 2 ints

Size specification of the widget:

• str: "x{width}": Sets widget width and size_hint_x = None.

• str: "y{height}": Sets widget height and size_hint_y = None.

• str: "xchildren": Sets size_hint_x = None and binds this widget’s width to the sum of the widths of its children.

• str: "ychildren": Sets size_hint_y = None and binds this widget’s height to the sum of the heights of its children.

• str: "xchild_max": Sets size_hint_x = None and binds this widget’s width to the child with the maximum width.

• str: "ychild_max": Sets size_hint_y = None and binds this widget’s height to the child with the maximum height.

You can combine up to two of the above size string specifications.

• str: "{number}": Processed as size = (number, number) and size_hint = (None,None). Cannot be combined with other string specifications.

• sequence: (int, int): Size of the widget. Same as Kivy. Has no effect if size_hint argument is not set to None.

Example:

sk.VideoPlayer(size = "y35")
sk.VideoPlayer(size = "x120y35")
sk.VideoPlayer(size = "xchildreny40")
sk.VideoPlayer(size = "xchildrenychildren")
sk.VideoPlayer(size = "xchild_maxy40")
sk.VideoPlayer(size = "60")
sk.VideoPlayer(size = (120,35), size_hint = (None, None))

enable_events: bool

Whether the widget will send events to the event_manager set in MyApp using the widgets k/id property as event identifier.

• True: Triggers events.

• False: Doesn’t trigger events.

on_event: str, iterable (tuple or list), dict

Defines which events/property changes will trigger the event_manager. Only has effect if enable_events = True.

• str: Name of the event or property that will trigger the event_manager.

• iterable: [str, str, ...]: Will trigger events for each name in the iterable.

• dict: {"{event_name}": callback}: Calls instance.bind(**on_event) during widget creation.

Example:

sk.VideoPlayer(enable_events = True, on_event = 'width')
sk.VideoPlayer(enable_events = True, on_event = 'on_touch_down')
sk.VideoPlayer(enable_events = True, on_event = ['width','height','pos'])
sk.VideoPlayer(enable_events = True, on_event = {"size": lambda ins,v: print("size =",v)})

do_dot_subevent: bool

Adds a “.” to describe the event when triggering the event_manager.

• True: The event identifier is str(widget.id)+".{event_name}".

• False: The event identifier is the same as the widget’s k/id.

Default is False.

Returns

VideoPlayer widget created dynamically.
