Custom themes

PyPlayer supports custom themes in the form of Qt Stylesheets, which can come as .txt, .qss, or .css files. To add a custom theme, place it in the themes directory in the same directory as pyplayer.exe.

PyPlayer themes have minor differences from standard stylesheets and use their own "Theme" section. View the included themes to get started with creating your own.

Contributing

PyPlayer's code is meant to provide a more human-friendly implementation of VLC that can be easily built on and expanded, so contributions are very welcome. Translations, documentation (where necessary), tests, missing VLC features, themes, better cross-platform support, and new editing features are all especially welcome. If you're wondering where to start, there's well over one hundred TODOs dotted around the project, ranging from interesting to tedious to probably impossible. Most of these TODOs, ideas, and known issues are right at the top of main.pyw.

Here are some basic guidelines:

• If you're new to contributing in general, you can use this guide.
• Follow the seven rules of a great commit message.
• Try to match the style of the code surrounding your addition. Don't let your code stick out like a sore thumb.
• Try to keep your commits isolated to one general issue. Don't mash too many ideas into one commit, and avoid throwing in frivolous edits like changing the whitespace of random in-line comments (I do a LOT of frivolous edits in my own commits because I'm a hypocrite).
• Code should be as self-documenting as possible, with only minor explanatory comments/docstrings (if any).
• bin/configparsebetter.py is currently off-limits (part of a future project).
• Avoid changing the default themes unless it's to fix bugs or to add support for a new feature.
• Avoid introducing new, heavy dependencies where possible.
• Avoid relative paths where possible (use constants.CWD for the root folder).
• Be mindful of constants.REPOSITORY_URL. Make sure it points to the original repository when you make your commits, if you happen to change it while testing a feature.

pyplayer's Issues

Yt-dlp, streamlink, hlsdl, N_m3u8DL and custom lua script and custom plugin to extend the capabilities of playing streaming videos from thousands websites

Hello, thank you very much for this wonderful great awesome media player ! 🥇 💯

Please I have some requests : it will be great to add new streaming features to make the fantastic Pyplayer even more powerful, exceptional and revolutionary !

such as adding support for the famous "yt-dlp" and "streamlink", and add custom youtube lua script and custon plugin to extend the capabilities of playing streaming videos fom thousands of streaming sites, thank you so much !

these resources may help :

*https://github.com/vzhd1701/gridplayer#features

*https://ys.3dyd.com/help/vlc_plugin/

*It seems that vlc player may not play videos that have ads ads :

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=483226#p483226

and the solution to fix this problem is to replace the default lua files with these lua files found on the vlc player github page:

https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua

https://github.com/videolan/vlc/tree/master/share/lua/playlist

We hope Pyplayer will replace the default lua files with the new ones therefore we can playback videos that contain ads ! Thanks alot !

Also,hlsdl solves some bugs in ffmpeg according to some users... it will be great to add support for this software, thank you very much !

https://github.com/selsta/hlsdl

".HLSDL appears working much better than ffmpeg in these cases.
Hlsdl is public and the source code available.
The stream plays almost immediately and is stable. No errors or buffering.
Using ffmpeg for the download step gives a very long intial delay and is not very stable.
so I assume that the new crypto+hls RAI flows are badly handled by ffmpeg based players now.....

the video is choppy and unable to buffer enough for a fluid vision. Parole has no problem.

FFmpeg is not good for HLS streams, but I watched a lot of various HLS streams without any problems. The main problem is that FFmpeg downloads all streams (many video sizes at once), so you can watch only HLS stream with single video size"

Also, it will be great please to add support of these awesome software to make our beloved wonderful Pyplayer even more awesome and the most powerful media playser in universe !

I mean even when the media player can't play directly the streaming video, and we know it is very complicated to integrate them ! so our hope is the player could automatically uses one of these sophisticated tools to download part of the video in the background and then play it !

Thank you so much :)
