Can't play a movie

[PB]

The following code will NOT play a movie on my window UNLESS the
two commented lines are uncommented... any ideas why?

Code: Select all

movie$="d:\test.mpg"
If InitMovie()=0 Or LoadMovie(0,movie$)=0 : End : EndIf
mw=MovieWidth() : mh=MovieHeight() : fps=MovieInfo(0)/1000 : dur=MovieLength()

;hmm=#PB_Window_Invisible
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,mw,mh,hmm|#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"Movie")=0 : End : EndIf

PlayMovie(0,WindowID())
;ShowWindow_(WindowID(),#SW_SHOW)

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

UPDATE: I just noticed that if I move the Debugger Window over the
window, then parts of the movie get drawn onto the window... do I maybe
have a video driver problem? I wouldn't think so because of the fact that
the movie plays if I uncomment the lines above...?

Hi
Well PB i have tried both with and without the two commented lines
workes fine for me either way and when i move the debugger over
it's just cover the window.
so your code works okay on my system win98. geforce.

hope you fix your prob. anyway

Best Regarde

D'oh! I was hoping it was just a bug, rather than my own problem.
Maybe someone with Win 2000 Pro can confirm/deny this for me?

BTW, I just installed the latest drivers (v45.23) for my card (GeForce2)
and the problem didn't stop, so I doubt it's a driver problem.
