Now, it's time to learn about adding new functionalities to our Streamlit apps!

👑Streamlit Components : streamlit_player

With the streamlit_player component, anyone can embed video and music players from various websites. Creator of this component is okld✨

Why use this component anyway? 🤔 Well, streamlit already has elements to load video and audio files.

• st.video to load video files, but it includes support for YouTube URLs and local MP4 files only.
• st.audio to load only local raw (.wav) files.
  • These elements set the limit for users not to load files from various websites 😐. That's where this component is very helpful!

👩‍💻 Let's Code together

Let's install it first ---

pip install streamlit-player

I assume you've already installed the latest version ofstreamlit before. We need to create a st_player.py file. Now, follow the format below.

Steps

1. Adding required libraries ---

   import streamlit as st
   from streamlit_player import st_player
   

2. We will be using the st.tabs layout feature to insert different video & audio links in separate containers. Here, we'll copy & paste URL links from Dailymotion, SoundCloud & Vimeo websites.

st.title('🎬 Streamlit Player Test')

tab1, tab2, tab3 = st.tabs(["Dailymotion", "SoundCloud", "Vimeo"])

3.Make use of with notation to embed links within each tab.

with tab1:
    st.write('Dailymotion Video')
    st_player("https://dai.ly/x7v68qm")

with tab2:
    st.write('SoundCloud Audio)
    st_player("https://soundcloud.com/ashleygerardmusic/falling-harry-styles")

with tab3:
    st.write('Vimeo Video')
    st_player("https://player.vimeo.com/video/521067593")

4.Save all the code & type the below command in a conda virtual environment

streamlit run st_player.py

Make sure that you're running the file from the correct saved location. If everything goes well, then Chrome will open up a new browser running your Streamlit App! 🎊
