[Solved] Exception: Movie(channel='movie') doesn't work on mobile?

[Nanahs]

This is what shows when I try to play my game on Android:
"Exception: Movie(channel='movie') doesn't work on mobile when config.hw_video is true."

This is my video code:

Code: Select all

image movie = Movie(size=(720, 1280))


screen showmovie:
    add Movie(size=(720, 1280))
    on "show" action Play("movie", "movie1.mkv", loop=True)
    on "hide" action Stop("movie")

I also tried "mp4", and got the same error.

I need the movie to be inside of a screen.

How can I solve that?

Thanks.

On Android devices, movie objects can only be shown fullscreen.
See https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/android.html and https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html for more details.

I suggest using the python method.
$ renpy.movie_cutscene("movie1.mkv")
Unfortunately, this won't be able to be shown in a screen.

(the documentation suggests webm, but I just prefer mkv due to slightly larger compatibility), you could use either)

MP4 files are not supported and may not work (and if they do, it's purely coincidence and could break in future releases of renpy)

That's ok. Thank you so much! I'll try it!
