I have some videos in a GUI that plays when certain conditions are met. The problem I have is that I am unable to make the videos start again after they end. Here is the code for the UI:

import os
from time import sleep
from PyQt5 import uic
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPixmap
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QVBoxLayout, QWidget
from PyQt5.QtMultimediaWidgets import QVideoWidget
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread, pyqtSignal, pyqtSlot, QUrl
from PyQt5.QtMultimedia import QMediaContent, QMediaPlayer, QMediaPlaylist

# For update UI
class UIThread(QThread):
    change_pixmap_signal = pyqtSignal(int)
    current_mode = None
    new_mode = None

    def run(self):
        while True:
            sleep(0.1)
            if self.current_mode != self.new_mode:
                self.current_mode = self.new_mode
                self.change_pixmap_signal.emit(self.current_mode)

# Main window class
class MainUI(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainUI, self).__init__()

        # Load UI from files
        uic.loadUi('ui/main_small.ui', self)
        self.main_label.setPixmap(QPixmap('ui/images/main.png'))

  • this is the UI code, and there's a main code that sends the mode value to this one to start a specific mode etc..
