[PyQt] Access to QMediaStreamsControl

[Maurizio Berti]

The following code should work (taken from
https://stackoverflow.com/a/61296171/2001654 ):

import os
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtMultimedia, QtMultimediaWidgets
import sip

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
        video_widget = QtMultimediaWidgets.QVideoWidget()
        self.player = QtMultimedia.QMediaPlayer(
            self, QtMultimedia.QMediaPlayer.VideoSurface
        )
        file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),
"test5.mkv")
        self.player.setMedia(
            QtMultimedia.QMediaContent(QtCore.QUrl.fromLocalFile(file))
        )
        self.player.setVideoOutput(video_widget)
        self.player.play()
        self.setCentralWidget(video_widget)

        control = self.player.service().requestControl(
            "org.qt-project.qt.mediastreamscontrol/5.0"
        )
        self.qcontrol = sip.cast(control, QtMultimedia.QMediaStreamsControl)
        self.resize(640, 480)

    def contextMenuEvent(self, event):
        menu = QtWidgets.QMenu()
        group = QtWidgets.QActionGroup(menu)
        group.setExclusive(True)
        index = 0
        for i in range(self.qcontrol.streamCount()):
            t = self.qcontrol.streamType(i)
            if t == QtMultimedia.QMediaStreamsControl.AudioStream:
                action = menu.addAction("Audio-{}".format(index))
                action.setCheckable(True)
                if self.qcontrol.isActive(i):
                    action.setChecked(True)
                action.setData(i)
                menu.addAction(action)
                index += 1
        action = menu.exec_(self.mapToGlobal(event.pos()))
        if action is not None:
            i = action.data()
            self.qcontrol.setActive(i, True)


I tried the pyside alternative proposed in the link, but unfortunately I'm
unable to successfully load the file on PySide due to the following error:
ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgsttypefindfunctions.so

The same file correctly loads on PyQt5 (but obviously there's no
QMediaStreamsControl), so I suppose there's some problem with my
installation of PySide.

The sample (test5.mkv) is available in the Matroska test files:

Thank you,
Maurizio
