[Solved] How can I play a video with sound?

[nanashine]

How is the "correct" way of using a video file?

In a simple way like this:

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    scene config
    play movie "tv.mp4" loop 

The video is mute and while it's playing it "unables" the game (the mouse disappear, etc).

I wanted the video to be in the background and playing its sound. While the game with texts, choices, etc run normally.
I also wanted to stablish a position for the video.
I tried something like:

Code: Select all

image movie = Movie(size=(720, 300), xpos=0, ypos=0, xanchor=0, yanchor=0)

But it didn't work.

Is it possible to make this on Renpy? Or you can't use videos this way?

Thanks.

If your target is mobile such as Android as I assume it may be, then you can only play back video files as fullscreen. Android doesn't support displaying video files any other way with Ren'Py. Or at least, at one point it didn't.
I cannot find mention of it in the documentation anymore.
