Python Media Player Playlist


I'm starting on a project in making a customizable media player which can support the 3 major platform(Windows, Linux, Unix). I have actually found some source code online for this project but i want to add in feature like playlist but was unsure of where to start off with. Any advice for a head start for my project of how to create the playlist?

Resource: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/07/24/wxpython-creating-a-simple-media-player/

Below is the code for the media player:

import os
import time

import MplayerCtrl as mpc

dirName = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
bitmapDir = os.path.join(dirName, 'bitmaps')

        sliderSizer.Add(self.trackCounter, 0, wx.ALL|wx.CENTER, 5)

Solution

  • That's actually a feature I wanted to add to that myself. What I would do is create a new frame or dialog with a ListCtrl (or rather an ObjectListView) and use an Add/Delete button to add and remove tracks. You could save the paths to a plain text file with whatever extension you think is appropriate and load the ListCtrl from that. I hope that all makes sense.
