Playing multiple videos next to eachother.

in Contributed Library Questions • 1 year ago

Hi,

I am trying to make a couple of movies play at the same time.

I'm using the GS video lib and try'd making seperate movie instances and an Array.

In both cases the app runs and gives no errors, only thing is it also does'nt show any video...

Can anybody help me with this?

Some side questions:

Whats the fastest codec for Processing to handle?

Thanks alot!

Are you trying to play Quicktime movies? Do they have sound? Is the sound playing but no images or nothing at all?

Can you post your code?

MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, QuickTime v.10.0
Processing v. 1.2.1

Thanks for replying, but i got it working already. Turns out you have to actually play(); the GS videos instead of the autoplay in processings own lib.

Thanks anyway!

hi,

I m trying to do just the same: working with few videos simultaneously, creating an array. and having some trouble.

I use OpenCV but might as well change to GSVideo if it makes it things easier.

do you mind sharing your code?

thanks,

Pepa

I used something like this:::

import codeanticode.gsvideo.*;

import fullscreen.*;

//import processing.opengl.*;

GSMovie[] movies = new GSMovie[5];

GSMovie bgmovie;

//GSMovie bg_movie = new GSMovie;

SoftFullScreen fs;

int w = 640;

int h = 480;

int threshold = 80;

boolean find = true;

void setup() {

size(800, 600, P2D); ///checken zonder p2d

fs = new SoftFullScreen(this, 1);

// enter fullscreen mode

fs.enter();

bgmovie = new GSMovie(this, "bgmovie.mov");

movies[0] = new GSMovie(this, "cadeau.mov");

movies[1] = new GSMovie(this, "dakrand.mov");

movies[2] = new GSMovie(this, "vluchten.mov");

movies[3] = new GSMovie(this, "vreemdgaan.mov");

movies[4] = new GSMovie(this, "wachten.mov");

println(movies[0].width+" "+movies[0].height);

bgmovie.loop();

movies[0].play();

movies[1].play();

movies[2].play();

movies[3].play();

movies[4].play();

// movies[0].goToBeginning();

//movies[0].pause();

//movies[1].goToBeginning();

//movies[2].goToBeginning();

//movies[3].goToBeginning();

// movies[4].goToBeginning();

}

void movieEvent(GSMovie movies) {

movies.read();

}
