The Player
widget displays media-player-like controls that allow playing and stepping through a range of values. When playing it triggers events at a pre-defined interval on the frontend, advancing the player value each time. It falls into the broad category of single-value slider widgets that provide a compatible API and includes the IntSlider
and FloatSlider
widgets.
For more information about listening to widget events and laying out widgets refer to the widgets user guide. Alternatively you can learn how to build GUIs by declaring parameters independently of any specific widgets in the param user guide. To express interactivity entirely using Javascript without the need for a Python server take a look at the links user guide.
For layout and styling related parameters see the customization user guide.

Like most other widgets, Player
has a value parameter that can be accessed or set:
player.value
The Player
widget exposes a number of options which can be changed from both Python and Javascript. Try out the effect of these parameters interactively:
pn.Row(player.controls(jslink=True), player)
