Maximize/Restore buttons in the title bar are disabled in a QMainWindow - pyqt5

I was just creating my window in the Qt Designer, when I had finished it I noticed that even opening it from a .py file, the maximize and restore buttons in the title bar are disabled, they appear in there but I can't click it. I am using Windows 10 by the way. It appears like this:
enter image description here
I found some solutions using:
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.WindowMaximizeButtonHint) self.setWindowFlag(Qt.WindowMinimizeButtonHint)
but they don't work in my case.
Here's the complete code:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtMultimedia import *
import sys
class mainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(mainWindow, self).__init__()
uic.loadUi('mainMenu.ui', self)
self.show()
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.WindowMaximizeButtonHint)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.WindowMinimizeButtonHint)
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = mainWindow()
app.exec_()

Menu item now showing in PyQT6 GUI

I'm creating a basic pyqt6 application using the QMainWindow Class.
My code is basic. I create a basic window, but whenever I execute this code, I do not see any menu:
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QStatusBar, QApplication, QWidget, QMainWindow, QVBoxLayout, QScrollBar, \
QToolButton
import sys
# There are THREE different window type classes
# that we can choose from:
# QWidget, QMainWindow, QDialog
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
# Manages GUI Applications Control Flow
# and main settings..
app = QApplication([])
window = Window()
window.setWindowTitle("My 1st App")
window.statusBar().showMessage("Status Bar Message")
window.menuBar().addMenu("Menu 1")
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
What am I doing wrong?
Why isn't "MENU 1" showing in the GUI?

How to get size of widgets

I am developing a PyQt5 application however I am having issues with the heights of the widgets. Below is a simplified version of my issue:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
class App(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.showMaximized()
self.setStyleSheet("QWidget {background: blue;}")
print(self.frameGeometry().height())
self.show()
if __name__ == "__main__":
window = QApplication(sys.argv)
app = App()
window.setStyle(QStyleFactory.create("Fusion"))
window.exec_()
Here I create a window and maximise it. Using a tkinter window, it tells me the height maximised is 841, which is the size of my screen, however the PyQt5 application prints the height to be 519. Is this an issue with the self.showMaximized() method, or some other issue.

Resizing is not instantaneous in Qt. What Qt does is take the information from showMaximized to activate the flag of the native window (library that depends on each OS) then after a time T the OS applies that flag and sends it the new geometry. So in your case you have to give it a delay to get the correct information.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QStyleFactory, QWidget
from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer
class App(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setStyleSheet("QWidget {background: blue;}")
self.showMaximized()
QTimer.singleShot(100, self.calculate)
def calculate(self):
print(self.frameGeometry().height())
if __name__ == "__main__":
window = QApplication(sys.argv)
app = App()
window.setStyle(QStyleFactory.create("Fusion"))
window.exec_()
On the other hand, if your objective is to know the size of the initial screen then you should not use a QWidget for that since it will depend on the time it takes for Qt and the native library to create the native window, instead use the Screen class :
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.QtGui import QGuiApplication
if __name__ == "__main__":
window = QApplication(sys.argv)
print(QGuiApplication.primaryScreen().availableGeometry().height())

Create Splash screen in PyQt5

I want to create a splash screen in PyQt5 using Python. I searched but I found in Pyqt4 and I have no understanding of PyQt4 so help me in this case I would be gratful
Splash screen in pyqt

I like to add it in just before i load my main widget with a slight fade - note this is only useful to show a logo, if your application has a long load time you can utilise the splash screen like #S. Nick has shown to allow load time whilst you show the splashscreen:
from PyQt5 import QtGui, QtCore, QtWidgets
import time
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
# Create splashscreen
splash_pix = QtGui.QPixmap('picture.png')
splash = QtWidgets.QSplashScreen(splash_pix, QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
# add fade to splashscreen
opaqueness = 0.0
step = 0.1
splash.setWindowOpacity(opaqueness)
splash.show()
while opaqueness < 1:
splash.setWindowOpacity(opaqueness)
time.sleep(step) # Gradually appears
opaqueness+=step
time.sleep(1) # hold image on screen for a while
splash.close() # close the splash screen
#widget = YourWidget()
#widget.show() # This is where you'd run the normal application
app.exec_()

Try it:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPixmap
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QDialog, QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QApplication, QSplashScreen
from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer
class Dialog(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Dialog, self).__init__(parent)
self.b1 = QPushButton('Display screensaver')
self.b1.clicked.connect(self.flashSplash)
layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(layout)
layout.addWidget(self.b1)
def flashSplash(self):
self.splash = QSplashScreen(QPixmap('D:/_Qt/img/pyqt.jpg'))
# By default, SplashScreen will be in the center of the screen.
# You can move it to a specific location if you want:
# self.splash.move(10,10)
self.splash.show()
# Close SplashScreen after 2 seconds (2000 ms)
QTimer.singleShot(2000, self.splash.close)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
main = Dialog()
main.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Example 2
import sys
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets # + QtWidgets
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel
from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer, Qt
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
label = QLabel("""
<font color=red size=128>
<b>Hello PyQt， The window will disappear after 5 seconds！</b>
</font>""")
# SplashScreen - Indicates that the window is a splash screen. This is the default type for .QSplashScreen
# FramelessWindowHint - Creates a borderless window. The user cannot move or resize the borderless window through the window system.
label.setWindowFlags(Qt.SplashScreen | Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
label.show()
# Automatically exit after 5 seconds
QTimer.singleShot(5000, app.quit)
sys.exit(app.exec_())

The simple and best example that I found.

super(QSplashScreen, self).__init__()
loadUi("splash.ui", self)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
pixmap = QPixmap("any_image.jpg")
self.setPixmap(pixmap)
def progress(self):
for i in range(40):
time.sleep(0.1)
self.progressBar.setValue(i)
class MainScreen(QMainWindow):
def function1():
.......
def function2():
......
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
splash = SplashScreen()
splash.show()
splash.progress()
mainscreen = MainScreen()
mainscreen.show()
splash.finish(widget)
sys.exit(app.exec_())

How can I add PyQt5 QMediaPlayer in Qt Designer? [duplicate]

I want to insert video in blue box(ui image) but I don't know how to insert video file.
My code is here.
I don't know how to add video... Just know example that make video player ...
import sys
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5 import QtGui
from PyQt5 import uic
from PyQt5 import QtCore
from PyQt5.QtCore import QDir, Qt, QUrl, pyqtSlot
from PyQt5.QtMultimedia import QMediaContent, QMediaPlayer
from PyQt5.QtMultimediaWidgets import QVideoWidget
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QFileDialog, QHBoxLayout, QLabel,

Thank you for reading my question.

Qt Designer does not show all the Qt widget, and often we want to add our own widget through Qt, for that there are at least 2 solutions, the first is to create a plugin and load it to Qt Designer, and the other is simpler. promote the widget, the latter is what I will show in this answer.
For this you must make certain minimum changes, I do not know what type of widget is the one you use in the blue box but you must change it to the Widget type that is in the sub-menu of the containers as shown in the following image:
after them you must right click on the widget and select Promote to ..., then a dialogue will appear, in the part of Promoted class name you must place QVideoWidget, and in the part of Header File you must place PyQt5.QtMultimediaWidgets, then press the add button and then Promote:
After that you will be able to use QVideoWidget within your application.
In the following link there is an example

Answer from here was clearer to me:
QWebKit was removed in Qt 5.6. So QWebView is no longer available. Use QWebEngineView as a replacement. In Qt Designer, just add a QWidget to your form and promote it to QWebEngineView (base class: QWidget, header: QWebEngineView). Don't forget to add webenginewidgets to your project file.

Simlar issue: want add QWebEngineView into Qt Designer
for later PySide6 to import and use .ui, exported by Qt Designer
Solution: add QWidget then Promoted to QWebEngineView
Steps
drag a new QWidget into your main ui (window)
right click QWidget -> Promoted to
new popup window, input
Base class Name: QWidget
Promoted class Name: QWebEngineView
Header File: PySide6.QtWebEngineWidgets
== parent class
Global Include: not selected
-> Screenshot
click: Add
click: Promote
