Hi Anas Shakil, thanks for trying pygubu.

You can try python-vlc Here is a simple example with pygubu (tested only on linux OS)

Let me knows if this helps. Regards Alejandro A.

File: vlcclientapp.py

import os
import sys
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
import pygubu
import vlc

PROJECT_PATH = os.path.dirname(__file__)
PROJECT_UI = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, "vlcclient.ui")

_isMacOS   = sys.platform.startswith('darwin')
_isWindows = sys.platform.startswith('win')
_isLinux   = sys.platform.startswith('linux')

class VlcclientApp:

    def __init__(self):

        self.builder = builder = pygubu.Builder()
        builder.add_resource_path(PROJECT_PATH)
        builder.add_from_file(PROJECT_UI)
        self.mainwindow = builder.get_object('toplevel1')
        builder.connect_callbacks(self)

        self.videoframe = builder.get_object('videoframe')

        # VLC player
        self.is_playing = False
        args = []
        if _isLinux:
            args.append('--no-xlib')
        self.vlc_instance = vlc.Instance(args)
        self.vlc_player = self.vlc_instance.media_player_new()
        self.load_video()

        s = ttk.Style()
        s.configure('screen.TFrame', background='black')

    def load_video(self):
        VIDEO_FILE = '/home/alejandro/projects/videoplayer/video.mp4'
        m = self.vlc_instance.media_new(VIDEO_FILE)
        self.vlc_player.set_media(m)

        # set the window id where to render VLC's video output
        h = self.videoframe.winfo_id()  # .winfo_visualid()?
        if _isWindows:
            self.vlc_player.set_hwnd(h)
        elif _isLinux:
            self.vlc_player.set_xwindow(h)  # fails on Windows
