native.newVideo( ) Loop

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,

I’m trying to get a video to loop using the new native.newVideo( ).

I’ve tried creating a function to seek to 0 again which works once…

Is there a proper way to loop a movie continuously using native.newVideo( )?

[lua]local v = native.newVideo(130, 130, 150, 150 );
v:load(“jump.m4v”);
v:play();

local function loopVideo( event )
if event.phase == “ended” then
v:seek( 0 )
v:play()
end

if event.phase == “ready” then
v:seek( 0 )
v:play()
end
end

v:addEventListener(“video”, loopVideo)[/lua]

Thanks

I am not certain on this but I’ll look into it and get back to you.

Ok thanks, also while your there could you confirm setting the x & y of a video is as simple as using video.x = 50 etc. I tried adding a touch listener to my video to move it around but it wouldn’t budge :frowning:

Hi,

I’am trying to set the audio volume on a native.newVideo but it won’t react on setting the master volume.

So the user can never turn of, set volume up or down when running the video

Just wondering if there was any news on the reported problems? It was a bit of a show stopper for me that video objects wouldn’t loop as I had a pretty cool idea of how I could use them.

Just a quick - it won’t happen for a while - would be nice so I can move on with something else :slight_smile:

Probably an idea,

  1. Just init a new video
  2. video:play()
  3. Then use the video listener and watch for ended
  4. when ended, remove video, and start at 1)

That should work for endless playing :wink: [import]uid: 2734 topic_id: 24513 reply_id: 100099[/import]

@freshworks if you have a look at the code I added in my first post I did try to catch the “ended” phase and seek to position 0 but this seems to just loop once and then stops… If you can spot a mistake then please post a change as I may have made an error.

Hey - my apologies, I thought I replied to this yesterday but was having some internet issues and I guess it failed.

@Cl-apps, are you able to file a bug report, please? It only catching it once doesn’t seem right to me. (If you could include a sample project we can just run that would be a huge help.)

Thanks,

Ok, I’ll file a bug report with my project when I get in :slight_smile: [import]uid: 33866 topic_id: 24513 reply_id: 100317[/import]
