Video player by Python tkinter, When I pause video, I cannot re-play

Question

I am creating GUI to play video files. The problem is that when I pause video, Play button cannot re-play that video, and I have to select video file again.

Note: S

Answer 1

Question: Pause button will have no effect.

Reference:

• Tkinter.Widget.after-method - after(delay_ms, callback=None, *args)

  Registers an callback that is called after a given time.

• Tkinter.Widget.after_cancel-method - after_cancel(id)

  Cancels an callback.

To cancel the allready queued events for self.play_video change the following:

def play_video(self):
    ...

    if self.pause:
        self.window.after_cancel(self.after_id)
    else:
        self.after_id = self.window.after(self.delay, self.play_video)
