not playing the movies in android

#1 Post by DarkGreiga » Tue May 05, 2015 2:08 pm

Hi, this is my first time in this forum but not my first time using ren'py. I'm making a simple game as a good friend's present and it's already at its final stage, but there seems to be a problem. I use an ogv file for the credits title thing and it plays when I launch the game from ren'py, but I cannot seem to play the movie in android. The file has a silent soundtrack, though, and here's some part of the code with the movie and I'm wondering if I did something wrong which makes the movie unplayable in android:

Code: Select all

    ...
    scene black with fade
    $ renpy.movie_cutscene("Credits.ogv",delay=34,stop_music=False)
    stop music
    jump splashscreen
The music still plays, but the screen was black and no credits are playing.
Another question: is setting the delay necessary to prevent the player from skipping (if possible)?

I don't think ogvs are supported on Android. Perhaps, use webm - that's supported on Android and PC, but not iOS.

unfortunately, it brought another problem... I'll attach the detailed image here then.
This exception occurred every time I reach the video part.

Can I see how you're calling movie_cutscene? I need to trace things through the traceback to see if I can understand and repeat the problem.

Edit: What's weird is that it looks like you're on a compatibility path here. Are you using a very old rpa?

Sorry for the late reply. Well, I've tried changing the statement with play movie, so it's pretty much like this (sorry, I'm currently not looking at my code and I don't remember much what's written):

Code: Select all

play movie "Credits.webm"
$ renpy.pause(34)
stop movie
