Hi Folks.
This has be totally puzzled... When I made Dungeoneer, I used Active DirectShow to play the few hundred movie files that are in that game. I'm now trying to do this again, play a movie file in a game, but something very weird is going on...
Whether I use Active DirectShow or DirectShow, when I try to play a movie file I just get a black screen. Nothing plays. I have tested this to the hilt, even telling fusion to check the path to the movie is correct and if so, then to load the file and play it and all I get is a black screen.
BUT... If I load up Dungeoneer and run that in Fusion, all its movie files play perfectly!?!?! The new movie file itself plays fine outside of Fusion so thinking perhaps the file is corrupt I copied over one of the Dungeoneer movie files to the new project and tried to play that... All I got was a black screen!! So I then copied over the movie playing frame from Dungeoneer into the new project and it plays fine, both the Dungeoneer file and the new movie file.
Now I'm completely stumped!?!?!?! I have checked the coding:
Load file.
Play file.
The new movie playing frame in the new project just refuses to work, and yes, I ever tried creating it again and still no luck, just a black screen. But yet the copied over exact same frame from Dungeoneer plays the file fine?!?!?!?!?! I'm at a loss...
Can anyone offer some help? Can you test it yourself... Create a new frame, add DirectShow or Active DirectShow, and load a file and play the file and see what happens? This makes no sense to me at all.
