cannot cope with basic Video Library example
Nov 10^th, 2008, 11:44pm

Hi all,
I'm a newbie with Video Library so I'm trying to start with the basic 'play' example:

import processing.video.*;

Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
size(1024,768);
background(0);
myMovie = new Movie(this, "../video/restarting.mov");
myMovie.play();
}

void draw() {
image(myMovie, 0, 0);
}

void movieEvent(Movie myMovie) {
myMovie.read();
}

When I run this example I hear a perfect audio but no video is displayed at all and I get the following error:
Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Coordinate out of bounds!
even though the movie size is 848x480 and the canvas is far more bigger.

The movie is a QT movie and I run it with no problem with any player. Processing 0155 on a MacBookPro with Leopard 10.5.5.
Any help is appreciated

Best

Marco

I'm also getting this error. I also have the same setup – a new Macbook Pro with Leopard 10.5.5 and Quicktime Pro.

Here is the code I used:

import processing.video.*;
Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
size(767,475);
// frameRate(30);
myMovie = new Movie(this,"killians.mov");
// Prints the duration of the movie
println(myMovie.duration());
myMovie.play();
}

void draw(){
if(myMovie.available()){
tint(255,20);
image(myMovie,0,0);
}
}

//Called everytime a new frame is available to read
void movieEvent(Movie m){
if(m.available()){
m.read();
}
}

import processing.video.*;

Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
size(320, 240, P3D);
background(0);
// Load and play the video in a loop
myMovie = new Movie(this, "prueba.mov");
myMovie.loop();
}

void movieEvent(Movie myMovie) {
myMovie.read();
}

void draw() {

image(myMovie,0,0);
//delay (240);
}

Hi all,

no way. I tried with a smaller video (320x240) and the 'P3D' switch. The result is that the video is played in jumps, one or several frames every 3,4 secs, and after 20s (sometimes even 10) the app crashes giving "Invalid memory access of location 00001733 eip=93dd5e0c" error.

May I use Windows or do you know of some way to control a player from Processing? I'm happy with Processing for many requirements of my application, but controlling video is mandatory...

Thanks for your replies

Marco

Hi Marco, Hi everyone.

Guess it's not just me then Wink

I'm also a Mac Processing person and I've just upgraded from the beta of Processing to find my code no longer works.

I get the same error. Clearly some change in the jump to release code has broken the example for us Mac users. I've filed a bug report with the Processing team, so let's hope it's something simple.

Mike.

Hi all,

for the time being, I found a workaround using Faster Movie class.
See the two following topics for further reference:

Hey, i don't know if this is what you are looking for, but:

import processing.video.*;
Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
size(384, 288);
myMovie = new Movie(this, "001.mov"); *//this movie is in the folder with the sketch and then Data//*
myMovie.play();
}

void draw() {
image(myMovie, 0, 0);
if (myMovie.time()==myMovie.duration()){
background(0);
noLoop();
}
println(frameCount);
}

// Called every time a new frame is available to read
void movieEvent(Movie m) {
m.read();
}
