Queue movies

[Eliont]

Is there any way to queue movies (different files) with transitions between them like queue music works ?

Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

image vid1 = Movie(play="vid1.webm")
image vid2 = Movie(play="vid2.webm")

label queue_videos(*video_details):
  $ vd = list(video_details)
  while vd:
    $ v, d, t = vd.pop()
    scene expression v with t
    pause d

  return

label start:
  call queue_videos(
    ("vid1", 5.0, fade),
    ("vid2", 2.0, None))

This one is through a helper label, you can call this label and pass a variable amount of tuples () separated by commas , containing the (video name, video duration, transition).

Thanks, though i need to do it without specifying video length, otherwise should be fine.
May be i can try to get video length from pygame.movie.Movie.get_length.

Do you know, is renpy Movie - pygame.movie.Movie, and therefore have get_length() method ?

i don't think so since Movie displayable is a whole lot different from an ordinary pygame movie, add that the movie module doesn't exist in renpy's version of pygame. Might be wrong though.
You can easily search online on how to find a video's duration, then modify the code a bit according to what you want.
But I think some of them might involve third party libs so yeah, you might need to install those inside `game/python-packages` if they're python libs.

Code: Select all

renpy.music.get_duration(channel=u'music')
Returns the duration of the audio or video file on channel. Returns 0.0 if no file is playing on channel.

But can't get it to work - renpy.music.get_playing correctly show file name, renpy.music.get_duration always says 0.0, and renpy.music.play('movies/movie.webm',channel='movie',loop=False) seems totally lock screen until played.

Well, music.play webm on movie channel mostly works as wanted queue too, but then there are other question - is it possible to show / hide it with transition.

Not tested (of course), but try 'movie' channel - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html#Movie

renpy.music.get_duration(channel=u'movie')

Can not use this command during any video playback, as it fully lock all controls, and i dont know how to get it to work with Movie displayable.

Initial idea was about to get duration of webm file without playing it, to show Movie displayable with transition, but move to next video or line of code when video ends without manually setting pause time.
