Hi All,

The aim of the code below is to get the mouse location on the canvas when its clicked. The canvas also can play a video when the user wants to. I can get the mouse location fine when there is no video playing. Bt when there is a video on top I can no longer get the emouse location when I click. Why is this?

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfile
from tkVideoPlayer import TkinterVideo
from random import *
import cv2
from tkinter import messagebox

global closed
closed = 0

window = Tk()
window.title("Tkinter Play Videos in Video Player")
window.attributes('-fullscreen',True)
window.configure(bg="orange red")

#TODO: get coords of where shapes to go and output onto new vid

canvas = Canvas(window, bg="orange red")
canvas.pack(expand=True, fill=BOTH)

def get_coords(event):
    coords = (str(event.x) + " " + str(event.y))
    print (coords)

canvas.bind("<Button-1>", get_coords)
 
def open_file():
    file = askopenfile(mode='r', filetypes=[('Video Files', ["*.mp4"])])
    
    if file is not None:
        global filename
        filename = file.name
        global videoplayer
        videoplayer = TkinterVideo(canvas, scaled=False)
        videoplayer.load(r"{}".format(filename))
        videoplayer.pack(side=LEFT, expand=True, fill="both")
        videoplayer.play()
 
 
 
def playAgain():
    print(filename)
    videoplayer.play()
 
def StopVideo():
    print(filename)
    videoplayer.stop()
 
def PauseVideo():
    print(filename)
    videoplayer.pause()



#lbl1 = Label(window, text="Tkinter Video Player", bg="orange red", fg="white", font="none 24 bold")
#lbl1.config(anchor=CENTER)
#lbl1.pack()
 
openbtn = Button(window, text='Open', command=lambda: open_file())
openbtn.pack(side=BOTTOM, pady=2)
 
playbtn = Button(window, text='Play Video', command=lambda: playAgain())
playbtn.pack(side=BOTTOM, pady=3)
 
stopbtn = Button(window, text='Stop Video', command=lambda: StopVideo())
stopbtn.pack(side=BOTTOM, padx=4)
 
pausebtn = Button(window, text='Pause Video', command=lambda: PauseVideo())
pausebtn.pack(side=BOTTOM, padx=5)


def on_closing():
    global closed
    if messagebox.askokcancel("Quit", "Do you want to quit?"):
        closed = 1
        window.destroy()

window.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", on_closing)
window.mainloop()

Thanks

Because you are clicking on the video player, not the canvas. You could bind button events in the video player

videoplayer = TkinterVideo(canvas, scaled=False)
videoplayer.bind("<Button-1>", get_coords)

Or you could bind button events in the root window. Binding button events in the canvas is probably useless.
