hello, first time Renpy user here! I'm making a game with a lot of fake loading screens and consequently need to code in a lot of videos

I've been using:

image movie = Movie(size=(1920,1080), xpos=0, ypos=0, xanchor=0, yanchor=0)

(because I want it to take up the entire screen)

and

show movie
play movie "nj distant.ogv"
hide movie

but hide movie doesn't seem to do anything, and neither does pause 3.0/7.0/any number i put in

how would i loop the video to play for only a certain amount of time? alternatively, how could i make it so that the video stops and/or leaves if you click?

the renpy documentation should be able to help you out

Here's an example of defining a movie sprite:

image eileen movie = Movie(play="eileen_movie.webm", mask="eileen_mask.webm")
The movie sprite can be shown using the show statement, which automatically starts the movie playing. It will be automatically stopped when the displayable is hidden.

show eileen movie

e "I'm feeling quite animated today."

hide eileen

e "But there's no point on wasting energy when I'm not around."

make sure you have the indentation right as well, hope this helps

Yeah, that was very helpful. Thank you very much!
