Usage

• Import tkinter and tkvideo-moviepy
• Create Tk() parent and the label you'd like to use
• Get a moviepy video
• Create tkvideo object with its parameters (moviepy clip, 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:

from tkinter import *
from tkvideo import tkvideo
from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip

root = Tk()
my_label = Label(root)
my_label.pack()

clip = VideoFileClip('path/to/video.mp4')

player = tkvideo(clip, my_label, loop = 1, size = (1280,720))
player.play()

root.mainloop()
