python-mpv VS snapcraft-desktop-helpers

You can use this. https://github.com/jaseg/python-mpv It has the option of keybinding. So you can assign a key to stop the playback.

I've stumbled upon this library: https://github.com/jaseg/python-mpv Likely that is the way, but from quick evaluation I discovered that it fails for me on Mac OS. Other platforms are seemingly fine, so if you target Windows or GNU/Linux, it will probably suit you.

It's certainly changed my mind on tkinter! I always viewed it as the GUI of last resort for python in the past but it's very capable, the mpv bindings I'm using are also amazingly well thought out and 'keep out of the way' thanks to https://github.com/jaseg/python-mpv.

Hi. I developed a PyQt5 application that has an embedded MPV player. I am using the python-mpv (https://github.com/jaseg/python-mpv) module. I snapped the application, but every time I install and run the snap, the MPV player shows a white screen instead of the video. The reason I think I am missing some libs or configurations is that when I run the only binaries (without snapping), the app works fine and MPV plays every video perfectly.
