I would say using html and some small browser would be easiest to do this on (either use a tuned down mozilla - I guess there are some ready-to-use versions like that, or use opera in kiosk mode, non-mdi). (since its basically just a gallery right?) Each (mp3,flash,jpeg,...) is represented by one html file and the selected html file is shown in one window, and the buttons are shown in the other window, communication runs through 'frames' (without frameset it will use the window that has been created with some specific frame tag - for example through a href target=...) and javascript. Interesting though: how would 'displaying' mp3 work ? Playing is easy... waveform visualisation or such isnt quite that easy anymore :) If you mean to use pygtk, there is a module that embeds a mozilla window in a gtk widget (pygme for example). [if you compile mozilla with gtk2 support that should be quite trivial] I dont think you need anything more complex than javascript for what you want to do though, so that would be more unneeded work to do it in pygtk (although it would be easier to tie down so that the user cant do unexpected stuff like wandering off to some other page). Now if you wanted to play flash from within pygtk in a pygtk widget, that would be "interesting" :) That's hard to do in my opinion. Lets see if someone speaks up that has some bindings for that though ;) > > The system is basically an information kiosk like you see in airports > etc. the presentation screen on top may show several borderless frames > containing differing media. > > Hope you can help - any thoughts > > Allan Irvine > > I am willing to pay someone for help with this as it is very urgent for me to > get this done Sounds interesting to take part in. Although I'm quite caught up for the next three months :) too bad cheers, Danny -- www.keyserver.net key id A334AEA6
