python qt, display text/label above another widget(phonon)

I'm mak开发者_StackOverflowing a video player using PySide which is a python bind to the Qt framework. I'm using phonon(a module) to display the video and I want to display text above the video as a subtitle. How can I put another widget above my phonon widget. Is opengl an option?

If you just create your label and set the phonon widget as the parent, the label should appear over it.

QLabel *label = new QLabel(phononWidget);
label->setText("Text over video!");

(I realize this is C++ and you are working in Python but it should be similar)

Update: The above will not work for hardware accelerated video playback. An alternative that does work is to create a graphics scene and add the video widget or player to the scene and use a QGraphicsTextItem for the text. Setting the viewport to a QGLWidget will enable hardware acceleration:

QGraphicsScene *scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);

Phonon::VideoPlayer *v = new Phonon::VideoPlayer();
v->load(Phonon::MediaSource("video_file"));

QGraphicsProxyWidget *pvideoWidget = scene->addWidget(v);

QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView(scene);
view->setViewport(new QGLWidget); //Enable hardware acceleration!

QGraphicsTextItem *label = new QGraphicsTextItem("Text Over Video!", pvideoWidget);
label->moveBy(100, 100);

v->play();
