Video will play as a cutscene but won't play as a background scene

#1 Post by ingenarel »

so when I use the cutscene code to play this video:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.movie_cutscene("images/Backgrounds/scenes/alarm.ogv")
but it wont play as a background when I do this:

Code: Select all

image alarm = Movie("images/Backgrounds/scenes/alarm.ogv")

scene alarm
or even as a character displayable:

Code: Select all

show alarm
I don't even know what to do anymore. For the past two weeks I've been using different video file formats to even get my video working.. and now when I have a working video that would at least play as a cutscene, it doesn't work as a background scene.

What should I do?

fyi: Webp doesn't work for me. Tried it a lot of times

Do you have any code after line that tried to scene or show your video?

Code: Select all

label start:
    scene alarm
    "?!"
