Hi,
It took quite an effort but the plugin finally works
And it works great! I used the old DirectShow plugin till now and it was much slower and system-dependent.
But there's always a "but".
1. I was unable to find any info about playing various ogg files one after another. How should I handle closing the finished (or skipped) video?
I'm using TheoraVideoClip::stop() and close(), but the game sometimes crashes between videos, so I'm not sure it's a good approach.
2. If I don't play the videos at all the framerate tells me the videos are rendered anyway. After a while it returns back to normal. I tried putting "play_mode pause" in all ogg material scripts, but it doesn't help. If I remove all ogg material scripts before launching the game FPS is ok.
Am I supposed to search for all ogg materials and force them to pause/not-being-rendered somehow?
3. And finally the weirdest thing. If I want the files to be played correctly I have to rename "clip.ogg" file to "clip.og" and demand playing "clip.og", but... leave "clip.ogg" in material script. If I leave all intact ("clip.ogg") I get an error "... clip.og cannot be located...". Isn't that weird?
Any form of help would be more than apprectaied
