I have a simple play video on click code

if GetPointerState()=1
LoadVideo("hey.mp4")
SetVideoDimensions(0,0,1024,768)
PlayVideo()

When I run it and click on the screen, for some reason it tries to open "Pinnacle Studio 16". Is there a way to fix it and have the video play when I click?

Can you please try this code?

I doubt it'll fix your error, but it's worth a shot
1. Does it work?
2. What is the number it prints to the screen?


If you're on windows, try a wmv file and see if it works with that.

from what I understand on Windows you need the correct codecs installed. Here is a link to a recent discussion on it that will offer some pointers.

The codes required for video playback are many and varied.

hope this helps.

I did some tinkering and converting the video to wmv. fixed the problem. My new loop is:

do
if GetPointerState()=1

LoadVideo("heyy.wmv")
SetVideoDimensions(0,0,100,100)
PlayVideo()

endif

if GetPointerState()=0

pauseVideo()

rainbow=CreateSprite(loadimage("rainbow.jpg"))
SetSpriteSize(rainbow,100,100)

endif

Print( "I said hey!")
Sync()
loop

I'm trying to have the video only play if the mouse input is held clicked and then show "rainbow.jpg" if it is not clicked.

What my code currently does is if I hold down mouse click it will play "heyy.wmv" very choppy while constantly spawning "Active Movie Window" windows.

if I swap pausevideo() with deletevideo() , nothing plays while I am clicked.

Your LoadVideo should be outside of the main loop, right now when you click your mouse it is loading the video over and over again. Same with your rainbow image, create the rainbow sprite outside of the main loop and hide/show it when you want to.

Thank you Sean for the reply!

There are still a few errors after I changed my code to match yours. Logically, it doesn't make sense to me after reviewing the code, but here's what happens when I run it:

Displays rainbow.jpg at first.

When I click it displays a still of the first frame of the heyy.wmv video, but no further video or sound.

After I release after first click, it doesn't return to rainbow.jpg.

If I click and hold after the first click and release, the video will play/stop with each click/release, but doesn't return to rainbow.jpg when it is released as I intended.

I messed around with my code but with no success.

rainbow=CreateSprite(loadimage("rainbow.jpg"))
SetSpriteSize(rainbow,100,100)


LoadVideo("heyy.wmv")
SetVideoDimensions(0,0,100,100)

do
if GetPointerState()=1
SetSpriteVisible(rainbow, 0)
playvideo()

PlayVideo()

endif

if GetPointerState()=0
PauseVideo()
SetSpriteVisible(rainbow, 1)

endif

Print( "I said hey!")
Sync()
loop

I have changed, "PlayVideo()" to "if GetVideoPlaying() = 0 then PlayVideo()". If your mouse is pressed then "PlayVideo()" would be getting called over and over again which would continuously be restarting the video. This is why you were only seeing one frame of the video. By adding "if GetVideoPlaying() = 0" we are making sure that the video is not already playing.
