I have a project of IOT where i am using python-3.6
on raspberry pi zero and tkinter
for GUI.
Pi is always playing video on a TV with direct HDMI (omxplayer
).
Problem:
I need to open a tkinter
GUI window to connect wifi but GUI display index is below than the omxplayer
screen.
What i want I want to display GUI on top over omxplayer screen to connect wi-fi.
I have tried:
1 root.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1)
#Not working wm is not defined
2 root.overridedirect(1)
root.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1)
#Window is jumping on top of every other applications but not over omxplayer.
3 root.attributes("-topmost", 1)
#Window is jumping on top of every other applications but not over omxplayer.
4 root.lift()
#Not working
I got a solution although its not a valid solution.
What i did ?
Instead of making tkinter GUI
on top i just bind hot key ctrl+j
to hide omxplayer
screen and ctrl+k
to show screen.
from omxplayer.player import OMXPlayer
import omxplayer.keys
import codecs
from pynput import keyboard
import threading
xpress = False
# The key combination to check
COMBINATIONS = [
{keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.KeyCode(char='j')},
{keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.KeyCode(char='J')},
{keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.KeyCode(char='k')},
{keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.KeyCode(char='K')}
]
# The currently active modifiers
current = set()
def execute(key):
keys = str(key).replace("'", "")
print ("Do Something", keys)
if keys == 'j':
global xpress
xpress = True
print(xpress)
else:
xpress = False
print(xpress)
def on_press(key):
if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
current.add(key)
if any(all(k in current for k in COMBO) for COMBO in COMBINATIONS):
execute(key)
def on_release(key):
if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
current.remove(key)
def ThKeyboad():
with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener:
listener.join()
t1 = threading.Thread(target=ThKeyboad, args=[])
t1.start()
#OMXPlayer Code
player = OMXPlayer('/home/pi/outhum/video/default.mp4', dbus_name='org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer2')
if xpress:
player.hide_video()
else:
player.show_video()
a = player.duration()
time.sleep(a)
player.quit()
