<!-- ABOUT THE PROJECT -->
## About The Project

tkVideo is a Python module for playing videos in GUIs created with tkinter. It does so by binding to a `tkinter.Label` widget of the user's choice and rapidly changing its image object.


### Built With

* [tkinter (Python built-in)](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html)
* [imageio](imageio.github.io)
* [Pillow](https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/)


## Installation

### End-users:

 * Clone the repo and run `setup.py`
```sh
git clone https://github.com/huskeee/tkvideo.git
python ./tkvideo/setup.py
```
or
 * Install the package from PyPI
```sh
pip install tkvideo
```

### Developers and contributors
 * Clone the repo and install the module in developer mode
```sh
git clone https://github.com/huskeee/tkvideo.git
python ./tkvideo/setup.py develop
```
or
 * Install the package from PyPI in editable mode
```sh
pip install -e tkvideo
```

This will create a shim between your code and the module binaries that gets updated every time you change your code.


<!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->
## Usage

* Import tkinter and tkvideo
* Create `Tk()` parent and the label you'd like to use
* Create `tkvideo.tkvideo` object with its parameters (video file path, label name, whether to loop the video or not and size of the video)
* Start the player thread with `<player_name>.play()`
* Start the Tk main loop

Example code:
```py
from tkinter import *
from tkvideo import tkvideo

root = Tk()
my_label = Label(root)
my_label.pack()
player = tkvideo.tkvideo("C:\\path\\to\\video.mp4", my_label, loop = 1, size = (1280,720))
player.play()

root.mainloop()
```
