Video Doesn't Play & Only Shows A Black Screen With Audio

#1 Post by Colby Alighieri »

Hi. I'm too newb to be here... *sweatdrop*

Anyway, to the topic:

When my game starts, there has to be a full-screen video that plays before proceeding. I've worked it out but the problem is, the video doesn't show and only the audio of it can be heard.

I'm using Renpy-6.12.0 and the video is 7 seconds long, 566 KB, an FPS of 30, Bit Rate of 64kbps in .AVI format. (just thought of giving more detail... sorry ^^;)

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

play movie "Colby_Memory_Static_Intro.avi"
Another question: Does this code work with the latest Ren'Py as well?

Code: Select all

renpy.movie_cutscene("Colby_Memory_Static_Intro.avi", delay=None, loops=0, stop_music=True)
Hope I asked enough... ^^;
Stagnant? Me too!
Send me a note to my dA Account and I'll see what I can do~!

I get the black screen even in the inbuilt tutorial. It plays normally when it's small (behind Eileen) though.
