Do you mean it does not work in full screen at all, or that it does not work when you run the game outside the editor (from Compiled folder)?

The video plays but no pictures,only sound..

in editor full window and from complied folder.

it's mp4

mp4 videos play ok on desktop.. through win media player

I'd convert everything to ogg / ogv in general. It's the only way to guarantee it'll play on every system, afaik.

Slasher · Mon 24/09/2018 18:28:34

Those don't either Khris...

they play outside, say from desktop OK..

Slasher, is the file on the compiled windows folder too? I seem to remember something about the file not being copied to the windows folder... but can't remember what version the problem was in and if it's been fixed.

I put a version in the compiled folder and tried compiled/windows folder..

whenever i try to play an ogv normally widows player opens and then close,,

Wait, so, when you said "preview" you meant like running video in media player? I thought you meant running game from the editor.

So it does not work in AGS at all?

There is difference to where you should put the video file. If it's avi or mpg it should be placed near the exe file (in Compiled/Windows). If it's OGV, then it should be placed in the game project folder (and then editor adds it inside the game exe).

I meant it runs F5 in the editor NOT with full window or from compiled foldeer..

What if you run from the compiled folder in window mode, does it play or also not? I am trying to understand if its fullscreen it does not work in or outside the editor at all.
Does choosing another graphic driver in setup make a difference?

Slasher · Mon 24/09/2018 19:36:50

i'v gone t0 ogv and no, even in windowed mode it only plays the sound..

Crimson Wizard · Mon 24/09/2018 19:58:32

I don't know, it sounds like AGS cannot find video when run outside the editor.
Is it possible to take a look at the game project (unless its too large)?

Slasher · Mon 24/09/2018 20:27:36

unless its my windows 10 issue

project is 1 room, no objects. virtually nothing..

Got the video working..kind of...

I had converted mp4 to ogv..

The video all runs except the images of the video are messed up.. in wrong place...

VampireWombat · Tue 25/09/2018 13:24:59

Would there be any right places for the video to be messed up in?
Maybe you could upload the mp4 and have someone else convert it and test it?
I have a feeling that there's some codec or something since you got your new computer that ags doesn't like.

Hi

I converted an .mp4 with AVC Converter to .ogv and videos works ok now in full screen.. The codecs must have got messed up before I guess after using an online converter..

Cheers
