Dear pymedia users
I have just downloaded and installed Windows executables for pymedia
1.3.7.2 and pygame 1.7.1 on Windows 2000 with python 2.4, because I
want to be able to display short video clips as part of a larger
program. pymedia seemed like the simplest solution (given that the
main application interface is not in wxPython but in Tkinter).
However, the vplayer example does not work, it always produces a black
window, presumably for video display, which comes up, displays
nothing, and disappears again soon; and this error message is printed
on the console:
Main video loop has started.
()
Unhandled exception in thread started by
Error in sys.excepthook:
Original exception was:
In another Win2K machine, only the first of these lines is displayed
("Main video loop...") and the same black window also comes up and
disappears.
I have looked through the mailing list and tutorials, I saw a
potentially relevant replay about overlay.pyd, and I also saw a
special pygame download with "overlay" in the filename. I downloaded
these files, however, they are obsolete (old versions of pygame and
python version 2.3 instead of 2.4) so they are of no use for me.
Are there new versions of these files, or is there another solution to
the problem? As I said, all I need to do is to display video clips
from within another program. Ideally this would be as an overlay on a
Tkinter frame but if that is not possible I could settle for a
separate window to display the clips.
Thank you very much in advance for your help
Thanassi
