PlayMovie() in OpenScreen() wont work

[nco2k]

hi fred,

seem to be broken:

Code: Select all

If InitSprite() And InitMovie() And InitKeyboard() 
  
  File.s = OpenFileRequester("", "", "*.*", 0) 
  If File And LoadMovie(0, File) And OpenScreen(640, 480, 16, "test") 
    ResizeMovie(0, 0, 640, 480) 
    PlayMovie(0, ScreenID()) 
    
    Repeat 
      Delay(1) 
      ExamineKeyboard() 
    Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape) 
  EndIf 
  
EndIf

tested with 3.94 and 3.93 (thanks MVXA) without any success.

c ya,

Code: Select all

InitSprite() 
InitMovie() 
InitKeyboard()

cFile.s = OpenFileRequester("", "", "*.avi", 0)
 
hScreen = OpenScreen(640, 480, 32, "test")
LoadMovie(0, cFile.s) 
ResizeMovie(0, 0, 640, 480)
  
PlayMovie(0,hScreen)
  
Repeat
 Delay(10)
 ExamineKeyboard()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)

This will show the movie but the screen is not really fullscreen, it looke more like windowedscreen... (still used hScreen instead ScreenID() - so my source is wrong!)

Code: Select all

 InitMovie() 
 InitSprite() 
 InitKeyboard()

 cFile.s = OpenFileRequester("", "", "*.avi", 0)
 
 OpenScreen(640, 480, 32, "test")
 LoadMovie(0, cFile.s) 
 ResizeMovie(0, 0, 640,480)
 PlayMovie(0,ScreenID())
 
 
Repeat
  ExamineKeyboard()
  FlipBuffers()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)
 
 Debug ScreenID()

Just tried this one.. the source isnt correct! This time i used as in DOCS mentiented the ScreenID command and tried to flipbuffer... when start program, it will open a screen, minimize, just maximize and you can see your video flickering and slow down...

i coded such a thing over 1 year ago and it worked fine (lost source by hd crash) ... so it seems to be a bug....

@Fred: I think its not correct to use PlayMovie() inside start and stopdrawing(), right!? If so, the debugger should alert this..

Here is how you get it work !!!! (i know i coded and managed to get it work long time ago

playing a movie on a sprite is not the problem. the problem is that PlayMovie(#Movie, ScreenID()) wont work. PlayMovie(#Movie, #PB_Movie_Rendered) is a completely different thing.

p.s.: it looks like movies can only be displayed in 32bit screen mode correctly. the 16bit screen mode seems to have serious problems with some movies/codecs.

p.p.s.: however even if you play a movie on a sprite, after task switching due alt+tab for example, the last movie frame seems to freeze and wont continue after reswitching.
