I tried litarely every code I found on the internet to start a python-vlc player instance in a window frame made with PyQt but it’s no working. The vlc player starts in a new window instead of taking the one provided py PyQt.

Can someone reproduce my problem or even solve it?
I’m on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

Minimal example:

import sys
import vlc
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QWidget, QApplication, QVBoxLayout, QFrame
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt

class MediaPlayer(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.setWindowTitle("Media Player")
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        self.instance = vlc.Instance("--no-xlib")
        self.media = "path/to/video"  # Replace with your actual video file path
        self.mediaplayer = self.instance.media_player_new(self.media)
        self.mediaplayer.play()

        self.centralWidget = QWidget(self)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.centralWidget)

        layout = QVBoxLayout(self.centralWidget)
        self.videoFrame = QFrame()
        layout.addWidget(self.videoFrame)

        self.mediaplayer.set_xwindow(int(self.videoFrame.winId()))
        self.resize(640, 480)

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    player = MediaPlayer()
    player.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Producing this error:

[00007c72c40b27a0] xcb_window window error: bad X11 window 0x00000003
[00007c72c40d2530] vdpau_avcodec generic error: Xlib is required for VDPAU
[00007c72c40b27a0] xcb_window window error: X server failure

I tried the also the following examples, non of them is working for me:
