There are some wonderful Viv Stanshall post-Bonzos clips on youtube,
including, of course, the absolutely outrageous Rawlinson End series.
An acquired taste, no doubt, but well worth the effort.

Thanks for all suggestions. I'll go with solution which was offered by Francis.

Nice link, Richmond. I've always been a fan of the Bonzo Dog Band and Vivian 
Stanshall, but I did't know this one. :-)

There's no way to play an embedded video in a player object, but there 
is a way to work around it. Delete the imported videos from your stack 
and then load them into custom properties instead. You can store binary 
data in custom properties this way:


 set the cThisMovie of this stack to url ("binfile:" & path/to/file)

When you are ready to play a video, write it to the temp folder. You can 
get a unique temporary file name using the tempName function. Then set 
the player filename to that:


 put tempname() into tFilePath
 put the cThisMovie of this stack into url ("binfile:" & tFilePath)
 set the filename of player 1 to tFilePath

The temp folder content is deleted automatically by the OS during 
routine maintenance, but if you want to remove the file yourself 
immediately after playback you can:


  if there is a file tFilePath then delete file tFilePath

You will have to come up with your own player controls to do this, buttons
that execute the various commands for playing a clip.

Re: Loading clips into a player

[Colin Holgate]

What is your use case where you need to have videos inside a stack? If you’re 
wanting to give someone a single file that has all the needed media, can you do 
a standalone instead? With those you can copy the media files in to the app in 
the Copy Files section of the standalone settings, and then load the media into 
a player this way:

 set the filename of player 1 to specialfolderpath("engine") & “/videoname.mp4"

You can't put internal sounds/videos into a player object!***
If you need to, you MUST keep the files outside of the stack.

*** You cannot even export or save-to-file any of the internal sounds/videos!

Thanks for your reply, Richmond. The thing is that I want to have the clip 
inside a visible player. In that way I have more control over how to play the 
clip. E.g. visibly nudging back a bit, changing the play speed, seeing at what 
time the clip is so I can mark it, etc. So I need to load the clip into a 
player, but not from disc, but from inside my stack.


So my question is still open. Anyone?

Thanks, Beat

Loading clips into a player

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

Beat,

Although it is your choice to include the videos in the stack,
it all depends on how many, and their sizes. Your stack could get
“rather” large, and you have to recompile and save for each addition.

I put my video clips in an external sub-folder that my stack can find.
The stack is never modified, because it reads the file list of the sub-
folder and you just click on the line of the required clip from the list.
Just add the new videos to the sub-folder, and the clip is automatically
available. I use F1 and F2 function keys to get in and out of full-screen mode.
I use this stack to contain my favourite clips from YouTube. Great Fun !!

I can mail you a copy of my stack if you want it. PC and Mac compatible.

Best Regards

-Francis

I want to have the audio- and video clips residing in my stack, but through a

set the filename of player "Player 1" to myClipName - this does not work.
It only works if myClipName is a file path to the wanted file on disc. Not if 
the file is inside my stack.

There is no info on this anywhere in the LC user guide (5.1).

Thanks, Beat




So, you have imported your audioClip / videoClip into your stacks.

play audioClip "myJazz.aiff"

play videoClip "myNonsense.mov"
