I am looking for a way to play video streams with python. I couldn’t find anything nice, so I ended up embedding webkit inside a gtk window, and streaming the video in there. it works well, but feels rather hacky to me.
So, my question(s):
Is there any other way to stream video (youtube, justin tv) using python and gtk?
If not, is there a way to make my code run on Windows? Currently it only runs on Linux, I suspect because of a lack of Flash support for GTK on windows. Are there any efforts being made to fix this?
ALright, I’ve come up with an answer.
Instead of using webkit, which doesn’t seem to have flash support on windows, I’m gonna use the chromium embedded framework. It should let me do what I need to do, which is embed flash in a desktop app, whilst also allowing for the option of a html based interface.
It’s open source, and supports flash on windows(and linux, I believe).
