PyQt: How to set QSlider moves automatically over time?

Question

I have a GUI for a network of nodes. There are time-based data logs that I read from to make changes to the nodes. In the GUI I plot the nodes as QGraphicsItems. Based on the logs, the nodes change for example their colors and positions over time. I want to add a QSlider that works like a video progress bar, i.e. it moves automatically when reading data from the logs. How can this be implemented?

Thanks in advance.

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community, Jul 15 '22 at 16:25

I think you can read the data in a QThread and update the QSlider every line you read, or every x ammount of logs. You can use slot and signal to communicate between the QThread and the UI main thread (or Application thread or whatever).
