When I try to play an mp4 file I get this error:
Error in line 241 (VideoPlayer.hws): This functionality is not available with this display adapter!

I run the script in:
Windows 11 64bit ver.22H2
Hollywood 10
RapaGUI 2.1

mistake same

but msut something about win11 since IrfanView also say the same "Windwos canot play this file"

above post was a mistake
i had some corrupted mp4, but cant edit above post

your problem is that video player fals on top of rapagui display, which also has take ove display of hollywood
have you se a hollywood.diplay? have some sample test script?

hollywood example VideoPlayer is not Rapagui, and uses directly hollywood display...

I run script incuded in RapaGUI's examples
There would be no point in incuding it in library if didn't work in RapaGUI

Files that i have tested are played by IrfanView

so you use videoplayer within rapagui examples AS IS without any modifications ?

do you have any sample mp4 that fails? to crosscheck?
does other formats play ok?

I think you need to install avcodec.hwp first. If avcodec.hwp isn't installed, the Video Player example will try to play the video using Windows' MediaFoundation system but that is not compatible with RapaGUI. RapaGUI only supports video playback using Hollywood's video renderer.

Ok thanks. But because this is a RapaGUI problem, I suggest to add a line in example that explain this. Or in the help file.
