Could we get an example of how to use the PlayVideoToImage command.

I assumed it would be this simple...

LoadVideo ("grey.avi")
PlayvideoToImage (1)
spr=CreateSprite (1)

But I get an error, image 1 doesn't exist.

I can get it to work on Android (broadcast to the new AppGameKit Player), but it crashes on Windows. Code:

@CJB I wonder if this is a codec issue? Using an AVI file (MJPG) I can get your code snippet to work.

Yeah, maybe. I'll install an mp4 codec tonight and see if that fixes it... although I don't recall having problems with MP4 on previous versions.

That code works for me on Windows using an MP4 video encoded with H264. By default Windows doesn't come with a codec for this (but it is the best format for mobile devices), so you will need to install an H264 DirectShow codec and an MP4 splitter to separate it into video and audio streams. I installed AVSplitter for the MP4 part and FFDShow for the H264 codec. AVSplitter says it can decode H264 as well, but that bit didn't work for me.

Still no joy here. I installed FFDShow and AVSplitter (although I could already view mp4 in other direct show apps such as Media Player Classic) but the application still crashes as soon as you launch it. If I try using the wmv alternative (these are the example vids from the regular video example app), the app doesn't crash, but you don't see the video either (window remains blank).

I tried the video from the original video example and it works here. Does it also crash if you use PlayVideo instead? And if not does PlayVideo show the video?

It's really doesn't work.
And it's pretty bad...

This code with video from example works on Windows:


But this code doesn't work. Image doesn't exists after all.

And the worst thing, for me, is that PlayVideo command doesn't work on full screen mode on Windows (10 at least)... It works, but I can't see anything only voices.

I finally make it to work...
This command is not reading the .WMV format right.
.MP4 file from AppGameKit example works fine on Windows. But not my own MP4 videos...

MP4 is a container. If you encode your video in H264 you should be okay.
