Credits (Webm movie) works, but not after distribution

[illuminate001]

So I'm trying to solve a very frustrating mystery. I decided to create my Credits Roll as a webm movie. It plays and while I was creating my VN it totally worked ingame once the player reaches an ending.

So I went to make build distributions. However, now that Im actually playing a build, the movie no longer plays consistently at the end. What gives?!

Here's what I know...

You don't have to declare webm/movies at the beginning.

You run through the story then reach the end of a route, so...

Code: Select all

    jump credits

You then should jump to the credits label.

Code: Select all

label credits:
    scene white
    with dissolve

    stop music

    $ renpy.pause(1.5, hard=True)

    $ renpy.movie_cutscene("dsgr-credits.webm")

    #$ renpy.pause ()   # will wait untill player click
    $ renpy.pause (0.5) # will wait 5 sec or player's click to continue
    $ renpy.pause (0.5, hard=True)

    scene white
    with flashbulb

    $renpy.full_restart()

When I was testing the game in renpy it worked fine but after creating the build the webm no longer plays consistently (sometimes it will play and other times the game will just end). This is essentially the same code I used in Let's MEAT Adam for the credits (which were also webm) and it worked 100% even after distribution there. I'm at a complete loss.

Are you on 6.99.13? There's an issue with movie playback there that might manifest like this.

Hey PyTom,

Yes indeed, I'm on 6.99.13.2919. So if I were to update Renpy to the next version and then redistribute the game, would that fix the issue?

[PyTom]

Yes, though that version isn't out yet.

Ok, as long as it's on your radar and is slated to be fixed next update then I'll just wait until then.

Thanks PyTom!
