Installation on Windows requires VLC in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN

Python packages & pip are automatically checked & download at first start. LibreOffice can be incompatible with get-pip.py. Check updates for both LO and get-pip.py

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/

Anyway the process of installing pip & python packages is simple. Use the pyhon embedded with LibreOffice.

C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\python.exe get-pip.py

It will install pip. Then install packages manually (if the extension failed).

python.exe -m pip install my_package

Compile Player.exe using PyInstaller

PyInstaller provides an easy way to create an exe for windows. We don't need it anymore since the extension launch the player automatically.

C:\Users\Bastien\Documents>python3 -m PyInstaller --onefile -i=logo.ico RDT.py --windowed

The logo is located in assets/
