Solution

Try it:

from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon, QFont
from PyQt5.QtCore import QDir, Qt, QUrl, QSize
from PyQt5.QtMultimedia import QMediaContent, QMediaPlayer
from PyQt5.QtMultimediaWidgets import QVideoWidget
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QFileDialog, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, 
        QPushButton, QSizePolicy, QSlider, QStyle, QVBoxLayout, QWidget, QStatusBar)

class VideoPlayer(QWidget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(VideoPlayer, self).__init__(parent)

        self.mediaPlayer = QMediaPlayer(None, QMediaPlayer.VideoSurface)

        btnSize = QSize(16, 16)
        videoWidget = QVideoWidget()

        openButton = QPushButton("Open Video")   
        openButton.setToolTip("Open Video File")
        openButton.setStatusTip("Open Video File")
        openButton.setFixedHeight(24)
        openButton.setIconSize(btnSize)
        openButton.setFont(QFont("Noto Sans", 8))
        openButton.setIcon(QIcon.fromTheme("document-open", QIcon("D:/_Qt/img/open.png")))
        openButton.clicked.connect(self.abrir)

        self.playButton = QPushButton()
        self.playButton.setEnabled(False)
        self.playButton.setFixedHeight(24)
        self.playButton.setIconSize(btnSize)
        self.playButton.setIcon(self.style().standardIcon(QStyle.SP_MediaPlay))
        self.playButton.clicked.connect(self.play)

        self.positionSlider = QSlider(Qt.Horizontal)
        self.positionSlider.setRange(0, 0)
        self.positionSlider.sliderMoved.connect(self.setPosition)

        self.statusBar = QStatusBar()
        self.statusBar.setFont(QFont("Noto Sans", 7))
        self.statusBar.setFixedHeight(14)

        controlLayout = QHBoxLayout()
        controlLayout.setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
        controlLayout.addWidget(openButton)
        controlLayout.addWidget(self.playButton)
        controlLayout.addWidget(self.positionSlider)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        layout.addWidget(videoWidget)
        layout.addLayout(controlLayout)
        layout.addWidget(self.statusBar)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.mediaPlayer.setVideoOutput(videoWidget)
        self.mediaPlayer.stateChanged.connect(self.mediaStateChanged)
        self.mediaPlayer.positionChanged.connect(self.positionChanged)
        self.mediaPlayer.durationChanged.connect(self.durationChanged)
        self.mediaPlayer.error.connect(self.handleError)
        self.statusBar.showMessage("Ready")

    def abrir(self):
        fileName, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, "Selecciona los mediose",
                ".", "Video Files (*.mp4 *.flv *.ts *.mts *.avi)")

        if fileName != '':
            self.mediaPlayer.setMedia(
                    QMediaContent(QUrl.fromLocalFile(fileName)))
            self.playButton.setEnabled(True)
            self.statusBar.showMessage(fileName)
            self.play()

    def play(self):
        if self.mediaPlayer.state() == QMediaPlayer.PlayingState:
            self.mediaPlayer.pause()
        else:
            self.mediaPlayer.play()

    def mediaStateChanged(self, state):
        if self.mediaPlayer.state() == QMediaPlayer.PlayingState:
            self.playButton.setIcon(
                    self.style().standardIcon(QStyle.SP_MediaPause))
        else:
            self.playButton.setIcon(
                    self.style().standardIcon(QStyle.SP_MediaPlay))

    def positionChanged(self, position):
        self.positionSlider.setValue(position)

    def durationChanged(self, duration):
        self.positionSlider.setRange(0, duration)

    def setPosition(self, position):
        self.mediaPlayer.setPosition(position)

    def handleError(self):
        self.playButton.setEnabled(False)
        self.statusBar.showMessage("Error: " + self.mediaPlayer.errorString())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    player = VideoPlayer()
    player.setWindowTitle("Player")
    player.resize(600, 400)
    player.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Thank you, Can you explain me why is fileName, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, "Selecciona los mediose", ".", "Video Files (*.mp4 *.flv *.ts *.mts *.avi)") and not just fileName=

@AnimeZero in PyQt5 static QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(...) Return type: (fileName, selectedFilter)
