General / Re: Can you integrate allegro into an sfml window?

What sort of video do you need to support? If it's just for some intro videos/cutscenes pl_mpeg is pretty easy to integrate with a RenderTexture/AudioStream

This sounds like what I need. Could you please show me an example script of the video player being used for sfml?

The solution is to also compile the SFML dependancies using the

The dependancies come pre compiled , hence no support for UCRT.

If you don't need audio, OpenCV is very easy to get working in SFML (1 line of code to load a video, about 5 lines to read a frame into a texture, do that with a timer). I haven't done much with it, I was just testing security camera footage analysis and playback, so the video was already low framerate.

or there's more comprehensive support with libvlc:

I see... I thought perhaps allegro would be reasonably easy to put into an sfml window. Looks like that brings me back to sfemovie, which is something I have so far unsuccessfully setup.    Thanks anyways.

This is a known bug which was fixed in SFML 2.6

I'm using 2.5.1, and I noticed that when music streamed from a .flac file stops from playing to the end, it doesn't rewind, so the next time you play it, it immediately stops. I fixed it by calling stop() right before play().
If it's a known bug, or if it was fixed, or if I'm missing something, you can delete the thread, since I'm ok with my hacky fix, just thought you'd know.

Window / Re: How to 'suspend' fullscreen mode?

« Last post by rtlprmft on May 14, 2024, 10:42:05 am »

Thanks for the reply. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE Plasma 5 and Qt 5 on X11.

I actually have another strange problem with the mouse. I use a hotkey to enable mouse grabbing and make it invisible, and the another hot key to release mouse grabbing and make it visible again. Turning this feature (invisible/grabbed) on and off works perfectly when used the first time. The second time I turn it on, the mouse becomes invisible but is not grabbed (so moves visibly out of the window once the window border is crossed, although invisible in the window).

I have tried many different ways to solve that (different order of the calls to setVisible and setMouseCursorGrabbed), doing it in Gained-/LostFocus instead of the hotkey handler. The only thing that made the mousegrab feature work again, was to minimize the window in between turning it off an on again.

I am mentioning that because it might be related.

What OS and window manager do you use?

SFML doesn't seem to handle alt-tabbing from fullscreen very well, see also https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/306
