    https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/jessikitty/moonlight-drive-in
    
  2. Upload files:

    • Click "Add File" → "Upload Files"
    • Drag and drop the files listed above
    • Add commit message: "Add remaining Python files"
    • Click "Commit Changes"
  3. Priority order:

    • First: Upload the 3 CRITICAL files (mpv_seamless_player.py, enhanced_debug_console.py, web_interface.py)
    • Second: Upload IMPORTANT files
    • Third: Upload OPTIONAL files as needed

Option 2: Via Git CLI

# Clone the repository
git clone https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/jessikitty/moonlight-drive-in.git
cd moonlight-drive-in

# Copy your project files (adjust path as needed)
cp /path/to/your/project/*.py .
cp /path/to/your/project/*.bat .
cp /path/to/your/project/*.html .

# Stage all files
git add .

# Commit
git commit -m "Add remaining Python files and utilities"

# Push
git push origin main

🎯 Quick Start After Upload

1. Clone Your Repository

git clone https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/jessikitty/moonlight-drive-in.git
cd moonlight-drive-in

2. Install Dependencies

pip install -r web_requirements.txt

3. Setup Video Directories

# Videos are already structured!
# Just add your actual video files:
# - Trailers → videos/trailers/
# - Single movies → videos/specific/
# - Folder sequences → videos/groupvideos/[folder]/

4. Configure NFC Mappings

Edit:

  • videos/key_mapping.txt - For single videos
  • videos/folder_mapping.txt - For folder sequences

5. Run the System

# With web interface
python web_mpv_main.py

# Or use batch file
start_web_player.bat

6. Access Web Interface


📋 Verification Checklist

After uploading remaining files:

  • mpv_seamless_player.py uploaded
  • enhanced_debug_console.py uploaded
  • web_interface.py uploaded
  • debug_console.py uploaded (optional but recommended)
  • validate_videos.py uploaded (optional but useful)
  • Batch files uploaded (for convenience)
  • Test: python web_mpv_main.py runs without errors
  • Test: Web interface accessible at http://localhost:8547
  • Test: NFC mapping files are readable
  • Test: Validation script works: python validate_videos.py

🔧 Troubleshooting

If imports fail:

# Check files are present
ls -la *.py

# Check Python can import
python -c "from config import Config; print('✓ config.py works')"
python -c "from mpv_seamless_player import MPVSeamlessPlayer; print('✓ mpv_seamless_player.py works')"

If web interface won't start:

# Check Flask is installed
pip install flask flask-socketio

# Check all dependencies
pip install -r web_requirements.txt

If MPV won't run:

  1. Download MPV from https://mpv.io/installation/
  2. Install or extract MPV
  3. Ensure mpv.exe is in PATH or update batch file paths
