sfeMovie (video & audio playback library with many codecs)

[JohnGreek]

No worries, this is the file: http://expirebox.com/download/7ab1c66cebc4827ce58276b499958c21.html


It's cropped and plays both video and audio on vlc.
On debug when run from inside QtCreator it plays only the video with no sound and the above debug output.
Release from inside QtCreator and by running the .exe of both release & debug i get the runtime error.

[Ceylo]

Just tried both on OS X and Windows, with Visual Studio and QtCreator, got no issue
Could you zip the full (and ideally minimal) project with ALL the dependencies you're using (both .dll and .dll.a files, etc)? That way I'd be able to check and run with your configuration.

[JohnGreek]

Here you go: http://expirebox.com/download/be53ad3e0afca2551a4c2d3187a9c97f.html

I guess something must be wrong with my configuration.
Now my debug executable is not crashing but i get no video or sound but no errors,  loaded h264 video stream and acc stream, nothing else. Release still crashes with stack_hash both inside QtCreator and executable.
I included only sfml and sfeMovie libs and dlls, do you need something more?

Thanks!

[Ceylo]

Also can you give me the full content of your PATH? So that I can check which dlls may be loaded thanks to it.

[JohnGreek]

My OS PATH is:

C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\3.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\3.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\Tools\mingw48_32\bin\;C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin;C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin;C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Backburner\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\

But QtCreator has it's own Run Enviroment when executing applications, i have selected Build Enviroment for this project and that PATH is a bit different than my OS PATH:

Hello Im using sfe::Movie to do cutscenes in my project. I am trying to use the sf::Movie::getCurrentImage() to get the current frame image then I am binding that image and drawing it using openGL. the problem is its only returning the first image. I am calling the function sfe::Movie::update(); before I get the image, according to the documentation this should work. thank you for your time.

[Ceylo]

@ Knucklehead,
Did you call Movie::play()? Are you calling update() + getCurrentImage() + assigning the new texture in your sprite (or whatever you do with the texture) before each draw in your loop?

If yes and if it still doesn't work, can you provide a minimal sample code to reproduce the problem?

@ JohnGreek
I didn't forget you, was just busy moving house the past week

[Knucklehead]

movie.update();
                currentTexture = movie.getCurrentImage();

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                pipeline->useVertexShader(pipeline->_VertPassThrough);
                pipeline->useFragmentShader(pipeline->_FragmentShader);

                glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
                glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);

                sf::Texture::bind(&currentTexture);
                pipeline->sendToShader("tex", 0);

                glBindVertexArray(vertexArray);

                glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, vertexSize);

                glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, NULL);
                glBindVertexArray(0);
                currentTime = 0.0f;

oh and I did movie.play(); the audio works perfectly. BTW thank you so much for responding so quickly, really appreciate it.

[Ceylo]

Ok, just saw your private message at the same time

I can't really say what's wrong here because I'm no OpenGL expert. What I can tell though is that in the provided sfeMovie demo source, replacing:

movie.update();
window.draw(movie);

with

movie.update();
sf::Sprite sp;
sp.setTexture(movie.getCurrentImage());
window.draw(sp);

does work for me.

If the same does for you then it's most probably related to OpenGL where I can't help

[Knucklehead]

Specifically its just the getCurrentImage() isnt returning the current image its only returning the first image. So what other function do I have to call for the getCurrentImage() to return the currentframe. My openGL stuff is working perfectly its just the getCurrentImage is only returning the first image in the video. I am calling movie.update() before the current image so im confused why its not returning the current image. Do i have to call the draw function for the getCurrentImage() to move to the next frame?

[Ceylo]

As soon as you call play(), update() will replace the internal image if necessary over time. You cannot get all the images from the movie without waiting for it to be the right time if that's what you mean. The RenderWindow::draw() call is not necessary.

If this is not your issue, then please provide a complete AND minimal sample code to reproduce the problem.

[Knucklehead]

sf::Movie movie;

movie.openFromFile("insert file");
movie.play();
while(true)
{
movie.update();
sf::Texture tex =  movie.getCurrentImage();

///do something that uses the tex to debug I use a gpu debugger

}

[Ceylo]

A minimal AND complete code please.

[Knucklehead]

hm thats difficult without a working openGL framework. I dunno how to supply this, I could give you my openGL framework although it is a huge project.

[Knucklehead]

sf::Movie movie;

movie.openFromFile("insert file");
movie.play();
while(true)
{
movie.update();
sf::Texture tex =  movie.getCurrentImage();
sf::Image image = tex.copyToImage();
image.saveToFile("use a directory on your desktop");

}

the above code should work for debugging it. The only image saving to my desktop is the first image. So this above code will help reproduce the problem. The save to file should be a png. thank you again!
