Some Video Library Issues with Windows
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2018 1:15 am
I've been experimenting a bit with playing videos through Hollywood, and I noticed a couple of things that work fine on my Amiga, but not when I compile my scripts to run on my x64 Windows machine:
1) Playing a video on top of a background that has an alpha-channel doesn't seem to work correctly (sound is played but no video is displayed). If I do not load the alpha-channel of the BGPIC, then the video plays as it should.
2) Playing a video (through the Native Loader) on a pure Hollywood display if another display (same program) is using RapaGUI doesn't work. I can understand if the display using RapaGUI components can't display the video through a Hollywood widget; but I thought that opening a fresh Hollywood display should play the video fine. (Yes, using the AVCodec Hollywood plugin works; but I'd like to use the Native loader.)
Again, these problems do not appear on my Amiga---only on Windows.
