1. As one has to leverage mplayer embedded movies are 'off'.
Consequences of this:
1.1. The poor old end-user will have to 'fart around' (it has
always amazed me how
British slang phrases are generally "more robust" than
American ones) with
file pathways and so forth; unless, of course, somebody can
work out how
to manage relative pathways on Linux . . .
Tried playing an embedded movie with Xfmedia:
on mouseUp
set the videoClipPlayer to "/usr/bin/xfmedia"
play videoClip "OINK.mov"
end mouseUp
[ Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V from the keyboard pasted into Mozilla
Thunderbird ]
The videoClip started playing (admittedly only the music because I
don't have the codex / codecs installed)
and then the whole of RunRev 4.0 crashed. Whether the carsh happended
DURING the time the videoClip was
playing or subsequently I really couldn't say.
So, I thought I would try to find a free, legal movie download from the
internet (having previously
been using a 15 second rip from a kids DVD I use for teaching purposes -
Peppa Pig); well,
as long as you are happy with porno you are spoilt for choice; otherwise
a bit of a tough call!
Anyway I found an OGG video clip of some really stomach-churning cinema
intermission from the
USA in about 1950; "Happy Father's day Dad!" [ fair gave me the dry boke
]. Suffix is .ogv; plays on
my Linux box quite satisfactorily in all the movie players I mentioned
in my previous posting.
Embedded: sound plays and then the IDE crashes!
External and Reffed: the videoPlayer becomes strangely transparent
allowing me to see
part of my desktop picture through it; sound plays.
Masochists among you may feel the urge to download my stack, which I
have bundled with
the movie:
http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/richmond/STUFF/KINO.tar.gz
4.5 MB download
if you are expecting aesthetics get over it now; this is really crude
stuff; both the look of the
stack and the awful videoClip . . . :)
