Question. Embedding the player in an application #42

Hello, I have been testing python-mpv for a project. Thank you for creating it!. I would like to create a wxPython (phoenix) widget to encapsulate the play window and be able to display that window as part of a larger application, but have not figured out how to tell python-mpv to open the player inside an existing window rather than on its own window. Is this possible with python-mpv? I am in Linux. Could you post an example on how to pass the window handle? Thank you again.

Have a look at the upstream doc. The easiest way would be to pass the wid option to the MPV constructor. The OpenGL API is wrapped in python-mpv, but there is no high-level support for it.

Also, maybe have a look at this

Thank you. Setting the wid option works. Before I was passing wid as an int instead of a str and that is why the player would not open embedded.
