Video only playing on pause

[neometalero]

I have this video I want to show as a background scene or as an image. But I have the problem that it only plays with the game on pause. When I want text to be shown the video disapears.

Code: Select all

image videoTest01= Movie (size = (1920,1080), channel="movie",play="videos/TestEnd.ogv",loop=True)
label myLabel:
	show videoTest01
   	pause

Any idea how to fix this so I can show text over the video like a regular image or background?

I don't get it. Presenting a movie like this doesn't pause (or disappear) when I show dialogue. Or what do you mean by text? By the way "channel" defaults to "movie" and "loop" defaults to True, so you don't have to specify it.

Code: Select all

image videoTest01 = Movie(play="videos/TestEnd.ogv")

label start:
	show videoTest01
   	pause
   	"Hello."
   	"Hi, the movie is still playing at this point, no problem on my part."
   	pause 3.0
   	"Still playing..."

That code gave me the same result. The movie shows only if I put pause , otherwise when showing dialog it turns black

Try to use starship launching video from tutorial game and if it will work then issue is in your video.

It should be in *folder with renpy.exe (launcher)*/tutorial/game/oa4_launch.webm

That video worked fine. I managed to solve the problem with the other one (it was a stupid thing, of course) but now I have a problem where the game just freezes after a few seconds play (that don't happen with the rocket video, so I will try on that format). Thx a lot for the help!
