AudioRecorder - selectively display recorder (or hide the audio widget) or changing to a HBox layout

[sathayen]

I have created an AudioRecorder instance in a jupyter notebook for recording from the microphone.

The jupyter notebook output displays a recorder widget and an audio widget. Is there a way to turn off the audio widget display? I could call recorder.audio to show the audio player widget only , but could not find a way to only show the recorder widget.

I tried:
recorder.audio.layout.display = 'none' and then invoked the recorder object. But it still displays the audio widget.

If I set recorder.layout.display to 'none' then it hides all the widgets. Is there any attribute that will only display the 'record' widget and not the audio? If not, how can this be accomplished?

There is currently no way of doing this properly unfortunately.

thanks @martinRenou , could you please suggest any hack to get this working? Ideally, I want to be able to put the two widgets in a HBox layout like so : widgets.HBox(recorder, audio) .. is there a woraround to accomplish that (if not hide the audio widget)

Yeah you could hack around it by injecting the right CSS in the page, that's not a great solution but it would work.

from IPython.display import HTML

display(HTML("""
<style>
.jupyter-widgets audio:nth-child(2) {
  display: none;
}
</style>
"""))
