wx.media resize video

[kevjwells]

Hi, I am using wx.media to play video files which are quite small and wondered if there was a way to resize the video to make it bigger?

I am using the MediaCtrl.py from the Wxpython Demo. What would I need to add where to resize the video please?

Kind regards.

I use wxMediaCtrl inside a Sizer and I think the Sizer just handles it all.

Hi David, I can now get it to resize, but the when the video resizes it loose its aspect ratio (proportional size). I have tried using wx.SHAPED but this doesn't seem to keep the original shape. I am on Mac, Python 2.7.11. Here is what I currently have, what am I doing wrong?

import wx
import wx.media
import os


class TestPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent, log):
        self.log = log
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1)

        try:
            self.mc = wx.media.MediaCtrl(self, style=wx.SIMPLE_BORDER)
        except NotImplementedError:
            self.Destroy()
            raise

        sizer = wx.StaticBoxSizer(wx.StaticBox(self),wx.HORIZONTAL)
        sizer.Add(self.mc, wx.SHAPED)
        self.SetSizer(sizer)
        wx.CallAfter(self.DoLoadFile, os.path.abspath("Video_683x384.mp4"))
        self.mc.ShowPlayerControls()

    def DoLoadFile(self, path):
        if not self.mc.Load(path):
            wx.MessageBox("Unable to load %s: Unsupported format?" % path,
                          "ERROR",
                          wx.ICON_ERROR | wx.OK)
        else:
            self.mc.SetInitialSize()
            self.GetSizer().Layout()

app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "TestPanel", size = (735, 473))
TestPanel(frame, -1)
frame.Show(1)
app.MainLoop()

Here you have an example of how to make a videoplayer with mediaControl: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/07/24/wxpython-creating-a-simple-media-player/
If you have the MediaPlayer properrly configured you should be able to execute the code (at least one of them If I'm not mistaken) without any issues

I usually use vlc bindings to make my work and with vlc I put the vlc Instance inside a BoxSizer in order to add the controls of the video and some menus.

Hope it helps

Hi, I sorted out the aspect ratio for wxMediaCtrl, I just needed to use wx.SHAPED.

Marcos, I tried using VLC, but couldn't get it working, read my post below:

I put the size in the MediaCtrl command, e.g.:

self.player = wx.media.MediaCtrl(self,-1,size=(588,448))

This works for me. I see that in your example you didn't specify the size.
