PyQT Update QLabel Threading/Signals Issue

maboroshi

I am trying to update a QPixMap QLabel image on each successful iteration in my video function however the threading doesn't work

What I see happening is it sends the entire loop before the signal sends its data back. I am confused why it's doing this

The code in Question I posted below

[code]
def video(self):

    cam = Device()
    cam.setResolution(640, 480)
    a = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%S%ms")
    b = str(a)
    for i in xrange(5):
        try:
            snapshot = os.getcwd() + '\\camImages\\' + '%s.png' % (b)
            cam.saveSnapshot(snapshot)
            self.client(chr(CMD_VIDEO), snapshot)
            print "sent"
            continue
        except:
            print "missed image"
            continue

def viewVideo(self, msg):
    print "received"
    self.myVideo.setPixmap(QPixmap(msg))
    self.myVideo.repaint()

[/code]

Let me explain: In my main GUI class I have it threaded I use this to initiate a signal

[code]

self.thread.mySignal5.connect(self.viewVideo)

[/code]

Then I have those functions I posted earlier (see above). In my Worker/Threading class I initiate mySignal5 like this

[code]

mySignal5 = pyqtSignal('PyQt_PyObject')

[/code]

Then in my run function where I run my server, I have:

[code]

elif cmd == CMD_VIDEO:
    self.mySignal5.emit(msg)
    #print msg

[/code]

*cheers if anyone can help
