how to embed non-tkinter VLC player into grid of tkinter with python?

below code can embeded xterm but not for VLC player


import vlc
from Tkinter import *
import os

root = Tk()
for r in range(2):
    for c in range(1):
        termf = Frame(root, height=100, width=200)
        termf.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
        wid = termf.winfo_id()
        termf.grid(row=r,column=c)
        p=vlc.MediaPlayer('file:///home/martin/Downloads/autoweb.mp4')
        p.get_tk_widget().grid(row=r,column=c)
        p.play()
        #os.system('xterm -into %d -geometry 40x20 -sb &' % wid)
        os.system('vlc --no-fullscreen "file:///home/martin/Downloads/autoweb.mp4" 
-into %d -geometry 100x200 -sb &' % wid)

Two questions:
1) Does VLC support the -into option? I know that mplayer has such an option, but it is called -wid, for instance

2) Maybe the window needs to be mapped before? If so, insert a root.update() after the grid and before you try to embed.

3) It seems you try to instantiate VLC through two different mechanisms, via the python package vlc and via an external call to os.system.
