This is the right place for Ren'Py help. Please ask one question per thread, use a descriptive subject like 'NotFound error in option.rpy' , and include all the relevant information - especially any relevant code and traceback messages. Use the code tag to format scripts.
Short answer: I know what you mean. The issue with Alex's solution is that, while it is aesthetically pleasing and works visually, the player still wouldn't be able to use the bar itself to control the position of the video (rewind and whatnot wouldn't work).
Answer extension: We were talking in the IRC channel a while (month?) ago about redoing the audio/video system; something to do with knocking out a range of an audio file to make it sound muffled. Anyway, the basic conclusion was that the system could use a re-work (and would be needed for video-audio player functions to work).
In theory, you could use the PyGame libraries (http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/movie.html) to do this, but that hasn't been implemented yet from what I've seen.
ok, nintendotoad, thanks, sounds like a challenge. I am new to python and I wanted to finish my game this weekend - actually it is no game - it s an interactive job application with a menues (university, school, jobs) and videos, instead of a resume as .pdf or something.
first I wanted to add a countdown on the right hand to each video
BUT
I will give it a try (without success guarantee...)
Thanks
