        self.testMedia.Play()

    def quit(self, event):
        self.testMedia.Stop()
        self.Destroy()

    # Sets the mp4 file in a loop for testing only
    def OnMediaStop(self, event):
        self.testMedia.Seek(0)
        event.Veto()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.App()
    Frame = TestPanel()
    app.MainLoop()
