Answer 1

It helps me to use Windows Media COM. When I tried it, I need to make 2 small modification to make it working in Python Flask.

1. CoInitialize to make it single thread i.e. pythoncom.CoInitialize() and pythoncom.CoUninitialize()
2. PumpWaitMessage to keep MediaPlayer working i.e while mp.PlayState != 1: pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages()
