Attached is a quick test app that plays a movie in a QWidget. I had to make 
some changes to mpylayer to get it to work for me, not sure how it could work 
otherwise. That patch is also attached. I'll contact mpylayer's author about 
it. You also need a test movie to play named "test.mkv" in the same directory 
(or change the hard coded file name of course).
