## 📤 How to Upload Remaining Files

### Option 1: Via Gitea Web Interface (Recommended)

1. **Go to your repository**:
   ```
   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

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

### 2. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r web_requirements.txt
```

### 3. Setup Video Directories
```bash
# 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
```bash
# With web interface
python web_mpv_main.py

# Or use batch file
start_web_player.bat
```

### 6. Access Web Interface
- Local: http://localhost:8547
- Network: http://[your-ip]:8547

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### If imports fail:
```bash
# 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:
```bash
# 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
