Hi Thalamus. Thanks for the pointer regarding the extractvbs option. I wasn't aware of that. And again, thanks for the help on my DMD issues.

video.SetBounds 0, 0, 128, 32
video.Visible = True
scene.AddActor video

Switch the video file with a known working one, any difference?

Hmm ok, well is not the video file then

FlexDMD will run both flexDMD API and UltraDMD language

So if the video plays when using ultraDMD language, then it must be fine, since it is still flexDMD playing it

 

But i am better at the ultraDMD language

I had some stuff running in native flexDMD, and it worked, but i was told i was doing it wrong and i have not had time to sit and study it yet

There is a flexDMD demo table somewhere, it may be in this thread

 

Oh wait, it is in the flexDMD download

I think you can just substitute video for image?

What does it do if you use a different WMV ?
Shouldnt be doing it to all of them, bounty hunter plays fine for me, i think those are wmv's?

Tartzani : Maybe its a codec thing ? I mentioned what I use https://github.com/f...mment-825870110 and it seems to work for me at least. Make sure you are updated too.


Edited by Thalamus, 26 June 2021 - 11:54 AM.

From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.
