cvplayer

cvplayer is a video player written in python that provides easy video playback using ffpyplayer and OpenCV

Installation

pip install cvplayer

there are two ways to use cvplayer, either through

  • starting interactive (direct) playback of a video from the command-line:
    cvplay filaname
    simply starts the video in a different window where it's playback can be controlledby using keymaps
    the default keymaps for controlling the video playback are -

  • scripts (getting a VideoPlayer instance and doing whatever you want to)

scripted access

cvplayer provides the VideoPlayer class which is the main wrapper around ffpyplayer's MediaPlayer.
Initializing a VideoPlayer instance will start playing the video according to the options specified. The Playback can be controlled from within the script as well as using keymaps.

the VideoPlayer class initiates playback and provide methods to control/access the state of the player.

Here's and example to play a video

from cvplayer import VideoPlayer

player = VideoPlayer(filename)

while player.state != 'eof':
    print(player.get_pts())
    time.sleep(1)
