Streaming Tool - Binds sound, images and animated gif to a keypress

Hello,

I'm making a streaming tool.  This tool will simply bind a sound, image or animated gif to a keypress.   If you use this with OBS as an overlay, you can add a chyron or other effects with ease.

I'm currently working on adding it so you can add sounds or images for any key pressed (hopefully done by next week)

Then I will work on making sure animated GIF's work.

After that, I want to try and get it so videos work.

If you are interested in this project, please check out KeyImage here

I welcome feedback and ideas,

Thank you

Update - Added the ability to run sound clips or images on keys.

Update 03/10/2024 - Fixed bug on playing sounds.

Also added a video to demo / show what this software does.

Update #1 03/11/2024 - Changed from an *.exe to a *.zip download.  This program does set off some antivirus software.  If you have problems, contact me at support@newlands-games.com

Update #2 03/11/2024 - I have put the project onto restricted, with a password of "key".  Right now it shows up in Windows Defender as "Trojean:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml".  This program does not communicate with anything other program.  It uses the same code I used to make the other two programs and they did not set off any antivirus program.  Until I can get this resolved, and it doesn't set off scary alarms, I am pulling it.

Update #3 03/11/2024 - I changed how it handles files and now it shows up as "PUA:Win32/AskToolbar".  So it still sets off virus scanners, but now as a low threat. Again, if you don't trust the software, don't use the software and if you have any issues please e-mail me at support@newlands-games.com

Update 03/12/2024 - Incremental update to show files selected when pressing a key.

Update 03/13/2024 - Added a button under the 'About' screen to display the file name for music streaming.  This currently conflicts with showing images.  I have not implemented a fix yet.

Update 03/14/2024 - Added support for animated files.  You can now  have animated FLI, GIF or AVI files linked to run at the push of a button.  Only one will run at a time right now.

Update #2 03/14/2024 - The file shows up as a virus (Trojan) in several antivirus programs.  It does avoid detection by running in the background, but does not install anything or change system files.  I am working on changing things so it does not set off antivirus software.

Update 03/25/2024 - It no longer sets off antivirus programs or shows up as a trojan.  Save and Load functionality will be added soon.

Currently working on ensuring save and load functionality works, then I will probably push it as finished with bug fixes.
