I'm making a game on AHK and I wanted to add some videos, there isn't any way I could use AHK to play videos, is it?

I know there isn't (currently), and I don't wanted to use Media Player or anything like that, so I wonder if anyone know how could I open a IE window with black background and No Bars, a changed title [and even a diferent icon (if possible)]...

I know that this is possible, I just don't know how!!

This would help a lot .. I don't wanted to use JPGs as GIFs and coordenate the SoundPlay with the images and with the Refresh Rate .. you understand don't you ?!

So please, give me an awnser .. I'm not in a hurry [my game is still very far from being finished ^^;;;]

Thank you in Advance ppl,

ok .. I Tryed the code and it is wonderful [I thought it would be harder 2 do]

anyway, I have already detected some problems on it...

* Sometimes it doesn't use the codecs proprially .. I mean, I see the img and no sound. [1º test I made .. the last part was without any sound]

* I tryed the .avis I was going to use on my script. ; ;
-> NO SOUND
-> The speed was like 10 times FASTER than the original

[So now I'm mad o_O .. any solutions? .. if I give you the videos I used would it help?]

(not portugues speaking, like old music from Portugal, barco negro,fado..)
have no experience with video,have generel problems, some videos are running slow with different players
recorded VHS cassette to mpeg1, this works fine
would like to make karaoke functions (define x/y and size, script changes)

Please .. I need an awnser .. is this a bug?! is there any way to correct it?

Any kind of help is apreciated o_O

Any kind of video playback issues are likely due to system configuration issues or the limitations of the OS. For example, if the system lacks an installed codec for MPEG2 files, it is unlikely that they will play with SoundPlay.

I've not explored the limits of SoundPlay because internally, all it does is call the OS function mciSendString("play..."). So there's probably not much that can be done to make it play more types of files.

This code works fine (sound and speed and everything) with .avi & .mpg files. but it doesn't work at all with .wmv fills (even knowing that the correct codec is installed) I think only Windows Media player would play them).

Wouldn't it be possible to play the movie from within a HTA frontend (written realtime by an AHK script), so it uses IE's internal features ???

Might be nonsense

[Belial]

BoBo .. no ideia what you are talking about ^^;;;;

Anyway, it doesn't have to be in AHK, if there is a simple player that could play the videos and that doesn't show ANY bars, buttons, title, etc..

My Idea is a black window [the script wrote above works], with the video centered and playing correctly.

[I'm making a Naruto Game [I don't know if you ever heard about it], so the attacks on the game would show some cuts from the Anime.. so the ideia is showing the file playing and when it finishes it goes back to the game]

This seems like a codec problem on your system.

I don't know if there are any plans extending this command, but there is a small utility called RunMp2, part of the MediaMenu, that can launch a file fullscreen

[Belial]

Well, that program is almost perfect BUT, it didn't Automaticaly closed as it was expected.

"mplay32 /play C:\path\to\yourfile.mpg" <- what is this for?

I simply created a .lnk with the location of RunMp2 and the location of the AVI file...

have I done anything wrong that is causing the file not to close when it ends ?! õ_O

RunMp2 automaticaly runs the file on fullscreen mode and runs the file without problems.

BUT, it doesn't close itself at the end of the file



Windows Media Player, [with /play and /close] runs the file NOT in fullscreen and DON'T closes itself at the end of the file as it should.

[Other Problem: Windows Media Player on other computers can be on other location or simply doen't exist]

---
RunMp2 works as I want, it just don't close automaticaly, am I doing anything wrong? ... anyway, even if it doesn't close automaticaly AHK should be able to close it easily [but in this case, how can AHK know when the file stopped playing (it stops when it reachs the end of the file)]

Awnsers and sugestions are welcome, and thanks in advance ^^;;
