GUI programming PyQt 5 + Qt Designer

flash77 · Mar-12-2022, 12:33 PM

Dear community,

I'm new to python and I'm trying to generate a GUI with Qt Designer and python.

In the Qt Designer I made a file "Musikauswahl.ui" - it contains labels and radiobuttons.

I want the player of a breakout game (to which I got a lot of help in this forum) to choose the music, which should be played during the game.

I made a GUI from Musikauswahl.ui.

I'm asking politely for help because I'm not experienced in making menus in python...

What I have to do to get the menu appearing?
(If radiobutton is checked, the track "Adeline Yeo (HP) - Kite Fly High.mp3" should be played (it is from https://freemusicarchive.org/)).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Daten\testpyqt\main.py", line 22, in <module>
    form = MyMenu()
  File "D:\Daten\testpyqt\main.py", line 8, in __init__
    super(self).__init__(parent)
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not MyMenu

here is the code I got:
main:

import sys
from PyQt5 import QtGui
import GUI, pygame


class MyMenu(QtGui.QGuiApplication, GUI.Ui_MyMenu):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MyMenu, self).__init__(parent)
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.radioButton.clicked.connect(self.play())

    def play(self):
        radiobutton = self.sender()
        if radiobutton.isChecked():
            pygame.mixer.music.load("Adeline Yeo (HP) - Kite Fly High.mp3")
            pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)
            pygame.mixer.music.play(-1)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QGuiApplication(sys.argv)
    form = MyMenu()
    form.show()
    app.exec()

Although I don't understand why you don't use pyqt5's mediaplayer instead of pygame.mixer but, maybe something like this

#! /usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QGridLayout, QWidget, QRadioButton)
from functools import partial

# Define function for playing mp3 files
def play(track):
    # Check if track is checked
    if track.isChecked():
        # Do pygame mixer stuff here
        print(track.file)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QApplication([])
    layout = QGridLayout()

    # Build two list - one for track name and one for file name
    track_name = [f'Track {i}' for i in range(8)]
    track_file = [f'path/to/track{i}.mp3' for i in range(8)]
    # Combine the two list into a dict
    tracks = dict(zip(track_name, track_file))

    # Setting some variables to set rows and columns
    col = 0
    row = 0
    # Loop through the dict to create radio buttons and set values
    for name, file in tracks.items():
        track = QRadioButton(name)
        track.file = file
        track.clicked.connect(partial(play, track))
        layout.addWidget(track, row, col, 1, 1)
        if col >= 3:
            col = 0
            row += 1
        else:
            col += 1


    widget = QWidget()
    widget.setLayout(layout)
    widget.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Output:path/to/track7.mp3
path/to/track5.mp3

Dear Axel_Erfurt, dear menator01,

Thanks a lot for your effort!!

I switched to an easier to understand example, because I'm a beginner in python (and it is my first GUI in python).
I realized that the use of the Qt Designer was the wrong way for me (because I'm beginner).

Would you please have a look at this easy attempt I made?
In line 68 I've got the error mentioned below:
Many thanks...

Not tested as I do not have those mp3 files. Mp3s will need to be in same folder as script.

#! /usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QFrame, QLabel, QGridLayout, QWidget, QRadioButton)
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
from functools import partial
import pygame

# Define function for playing mp3 files
def play(track):
    # Check if track is checked
    if track.isChecked():
        # pygame.mixer.music.load(track.file)
        # pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)
        # pygame.mixer.music.play(-1)
        # Do pygame mixer stuff here
        print(track.file)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QApplication([])
    layout = QGridLayout()

    tracks = [
        "Adeline Yeo (HP) - Kite Fly High",
        "Bio Unit - Lights",
        "cryptic scenery - Stazione Termini",

        "Ketsa - Holding The Line",
        "Maarten Schellekens - Salt Lake Swerve",
        "Strobotone - Dance Track"
    ]

    label = QLabel("Welche Musik soll laufen?")
    label.setFrameShape(QFrame.Box)
    label.setFrameShadow(QFrame.Sunken)
    label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
    label.setStyleSheet('font-size: 26px;')
    layout.addWidget(label, 0, 0, 1, 3)

    # Setting some variables to set rows and columns
    col = 0
    row = 1
    i = 0
    track = []
    # Loop through the list
    for file in tracks:
        track.append(QRadioButton(file.title()))
        track[i].file = f'{file}.mp3'
        track[i].clicked.connect(partial(play, track[i]))
        layout.addWidget(track[i], row, col, 1, 1)
        i += 1
        if col >= 2:

Something that might be worth looking into. The last example on the page. Checkboxes within pygame.

The game should play music from a playlist. I would have a file with the track file names. Either play tracks to completion or associate a track with a level in the game.

Independently you could write a small app to create the playlist. The playlist editor can be as simple as a list and a couple of buttons. The list displays the playlist files. The buttons delete a track from the list or insert a new track. The insert button draws a file selector dialog for selecting the new track file. For something like this I would use tkinter instead of qt. No need to install packages. No need to worry about what version of qt. A file browser type interface will let you user select any music they want from files already on their computer.

Dear deanhystad,

I decided to use tkinter instead of PyQt, because my friends are (like me) no pc specialists.
Later I want to use cx freeze to generate a exe - this exe I want to gift to someone.

Now I'm working on a GUI in tkinter to let the user create the playlist.
