Title: Unable to play video - SOLVED
Post by: xBRANEx on Fri 30/06/2017 00:35:16
Greetings!

I want to play a video in my game. I tried mp4 in the compiled folder - video playing error file not found or format not supported

I tried ogg file in the main folder, building exe file and then playing it - file not found

I'm not sure what to do. I've read a lot of similar questions here but the people didn't wrote down exactly what they did to make this problem go away.

Hey,

the manual says only avi,mpg,or ogg theora are supported. Is your ogg created with the right codec?

Is your video extension OGG, or OGV? It must be OGV for AGS to find it, I think.

Thank you guys, I've converted to OGV not OGG. Can't believe I didn't see it last night.

The problem is I converted using VLC's Theora+Vorbis video profile. This made me think that this is exactly what AGS needs.

Anyway, when I used Video2Theora application I had no problems.

Place your video files in the compile folder. Hope that helps. ;)

EDIT: Opps... replied too fast and didn't noticed it was already solved. :-[
