[vlc events example] This example checks if the song/media has stopped using the vlc's amazing python library. Also using pyqt here makes an event loop so be careful if you're running this without an event loop, the script will just quit! 🙂

vlcEvents.py

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
import vlc

class App(QMainWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()

    self.init()

  def init(self):
    self.setGeometry(40, 40, 500, 500)
    self.setWindowTitle("Test")

    songs = ["Let It Happen.flac", "Nangs.flac"]
    player = vlc.MediaPlayer(songs[0])

    player.play()

    eventmngr = player.event_manager()
    eventmngr.event_attach(vlc.EventType.MediaPlayerEndReached, self.song_end)

    self.show()

  def song_end(self, *args, **kwargs):
    print("woah song ended")

app = QApplication([])

myapp = App()
app.exec_()
