renpy.movie_cutscene playback is choppy

[frankm200]

hi, as the title suggests

I play webm movies using renpy.movie_cutscene, but regardless of windowed/fullscreen, the dimensions, or encoding the movie always plays choppy, like a slideshow

however if I play the same movie using image movie = Movie() regardless of the dimensions or encoding it always plays smooth even a 1080p video at fullscreen 4k
movie_cutscene is barely playable but compared to Movie() there's a major difference in playback quality

I'm using 8.1.3

can't be the movie file? so it's a renpy issue? which is odd, because I don't see many people complaining about it? don't people use movie_cutscene?
anybody know how to play movies smoothly using renpy.movie_cutscene? because the functionality is what I need just the playback is bad
or is there a way I can replicate the functionality of movie_cutscene using Movie()?

Could you update Renpy using the launcher and try if this fixes things? It works well on my end using the latest version, but of course I don't have your specific video file.

In what way are you using renpy.movie_cutscene()? I hope you're not putting it inside a screen.

It should be like this:

Code: Select all

label start:
    "Let's play a movie cutscene..."
    $ renpy.movie_cutscene("mymovie.webm")

yes, only had it inside label
updated to 8.2.1 and it actually plays well now, so I guess that seems to have fixed it, thanks
