Video-to-texture plugin with audio support and everything

[devex]

Many thanks to @ymmtny for the macOS and iOS builds, the plugin is now live on the solar2D plugin repository here

I have added a simple usage example here. Include the plugin in your project like so and you’ll be ready to go:

plugins = {
    ["plugin.movie"] = {
        publisherId = "com.ansh3ll"
    },
},

Windows, macOS, Android and iOS are all supported. In case of any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out. Have a nice day.

I got an error on Corona Simulator(Mac) when I relaunch it.

@pickerel Same spot as you see in @ymmtny’s crash above. I do think it just needs that fix I mentioned, or alternatively to make those LightPtrArrays. Maybe I can submit a PR in the near future.

Maybe I can submit a PR in the near future.

Ok. I wish you can submit a PR to fix it.

[StarCrunch]

I can trigger it pretty quickly with the audio / video sync test. With the LightPtrArray idea I was able to relaunch many times without incident.

I’ll post this as an issue first with the two-line fix included (I ran the idea by Scott), and submit a PR if necessary down the line. My fork + branches need some spring cleaning, at the moment.

EDIT: Issue posted here

After release ‘MovieTexture’ created by ‘newMovieRect’, the system.getInfo(“textureMemoryUsed”) api return wrong value.
If we use ‘newMovieLoop’ api to play a video in a loop, the system.getInfo(“textureMemoryUsed”) will return negative value after a while.

[StarCrunch]

I did submit a PR and it’s now been pulled, so I expect the fix will be in the next release.

@S_JetJaguar This is with releaseSelf()?

UPDATE: Fix is in the most recent build, just released.
