I've tried several formats that play normally within windows (mov/mp4/wmv) but I can't get any of them to play in agk2... Any ideas?

hmm, can say only what docu said.
see return value.
some video formats have sub formats, means .mp4 is not .mp4.

here u can get a fee video converter if u find the dl link there.
do not click dl from advertising there!

Quote: "This command loads a video file ready to be played. Only one video file can be loaded at a time so loading a video deletes any existing video. On iOS, Android, and Mac it is recommended that you use .mp4 files with the H264 (MPEG-4 AVC) codec for video. For audio it must be encoded in MP3 or AAC.


On Windows it depends on the codecs installed and although in some cases it will play mp4 files it is recommended that you use wmv on Windows for maximum support.

Returns 1 if successful, 0 if there was an error, -1 if this platform does not support videos. "

What do you mean by "play normally within Windows..," Play normally with what?

ok, 0 means error try
if GetErrorOccurred()
print(GetLastError())
maybe you get some useful information.

Agk uses DirectShow filters and filtergraphs. You need to install these to play things other MPEG-1 and WMV.

Try the K-Lite codec pack - it's free.

I'm a pro with video codecs (and have played with K-Lite), so I'm aware of these things it needs (not bragging, just letting you know the basics are covered). I'll check the error reporting tip...

Error tip was very useful: this is what I got:

ok=loadvideo("d:\video.wmv")

File not found!`

I'm probably overseeing the fact that the media should be in some project folder and not on a normal windows path?

Yep, it needs to be in the media folder. Somehow forgot that fact. Thanks for all your help guys!
