no, I don't have to use tkinter.
I simply chose it as it works with python, which I had used some about 12 years ago.
My needs are to view mkv video files (usually 15 to 120 seconds each) which are produced by motion video surveillance program.
I have motion configured to store each cameras files in separate folders. However, it can produce an easy 50 each per day. I would also like it to show live streaming feeds of the cameras, all on one page and separately full screen.
I also need to view the files over LAN, and 2-3 times per year over web.
I could easily ssh, but my wife is not into ssh or even folders.
12 years ago I made a program to automate our chicken coop (doors/lights/water heaters,etc using python and Flask on RPI's. I did start something for the cameras with Flask, but when running into hurdles could not get any help response from forums, so had to give up. Been working on this for a couple of months now.
What suggestions would you have? I am retired and willing to learn something new as long as my 63 yo brain can comprehend it.
