[Ho Yeung Lee]

after several trial, still can not put the player into grid

import vlc
from Tkinter import *
import os
import sys
import ttk

import Tkinter as tk

class SampleApp(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, title=None):
        #def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        #tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)        
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        self.parent = parent
        self.parent.title("video")
        self.player = None
        self.Instance = vlc.Instance('--no-audio')
        self.player = self.Instance.media_player_new()
        #self.player.set_xwindow(ttk.Frame(self.parent).winfo_id())
        p=self.Instance.media_player_new()
        m=self.Instance.media_new('file:///home/martin/Downloads/autoweb.mp4')
        p.set_media(m)
        p.play()
        #self.videopanel = 
        #p=vlc.MediaPlayer('file:///home/martin/Downloads/autoweb.mp4')
        #p.play()
        self.register(self, parent)
        #self.player.grid(row=1,column=1)
    
    #def GetHandle(self):
        #return self.videopanel.winfo_id()

root = Tk()
for r in range(2):
    for c in range(1):
        termf = Frame(root, height=200, width=300)
        termf.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
        wid = termf.winfo_id()
        #player = Player()
        SampleApp(root, title="tkinter vlc").grid(row=r,column=c)
        #os.system('xterm -into %d -geometry 40x20 -sb &' % wid)
        #os.system('vlc --no-fullscreen "file:///home/martin/Downloads/autoweb.mp4" -into %d -geometry 100x200 -sb &' % wid)

root.mainloop()
