Video issues: compare playbacktime and On export

Problem Description

Bug 1: Compare Video playbacktime sometimes does not work.

Attach a Capx

[attachment=0:2a8jw5wc][/attachment:2a8jw5wc]

Description of Capx

First Layout: Menu with Start Button. On clicked, go to Video Layout.

Video Layout: If video ends, go to Menu Layout. If video playbacktime > 1 set playbacktime to 0. In other words, a loop that never ends.

Video was encoded with XMedia Recode 3.1.8.8 with the following settings:

Video Only, Bitrate 1500, Reference frames Max and Min to 1, centered type.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Step 1: Run Menu Layout
• Step 2: Press Start Test Button Observed Result First time, video plays normally and ends. Expected Result Video Layout should never ends, as intentionally create a loop between second 0 and second 1 on the video. Affected Browsers
  • Chrome: YES

Operating System and Service Pack

W8 x64

Construct 2 Version ID

171

I can't reproduce the looping issue in Firefox. Can you? It looks like a Chrome specific issue.

After exporting you must have the right server MIME types or video will fail to load. Can you provide a link to an exported project using video to verify?

Tested in Chrome, Firefox and IE (with mp4 file). Only Chrome seems to have this issue. Deleting the exporting problem, right now can't reproduce it anymore.

So I think this is a Chrome bug but I found a workaround for the next build, so hopefully that fixes it.

Great!

This may be or may be not a bug, depending on what "On Can play" means.

My guess is than "On Can Play" is fired when video is ready to play, on first play or when you set a playback time.

(Edit: Deleted Bug description as it is not a Bug, as Ashley explains below.)

No, "On can play" means it has downloaded enough data to play at least a couple of frames, so I'd expect it only fires once per video. Anyway, all the playback events are whatever is fired by the browser and Construct 2 is not involved, so we could not change it either way.

This is great, thanks for the video bugs capx.. that helped me get really far with a test project http://part12studios.com/temp/Video_Test3/

I set up the mimes as documented and the game runs fine local.. even before the mines I had some working roughs working before this version.. but the clip were maybe about 1/3 the size. Here is an example of one that's working http://part12studios.com/temp/Video_Test2/ this one never gave me any trouble.. the other

So how do "preload" video? I know I can do a preload and preload complete with the audio object.. is there something similar for video? I would just want to be sure that the player cannot proceed until the video(s) are done downloading..

Thanks

So doing a little more testing.. I realize it was something else.. i had my videos in the first version lower case.. the newer version videos were capitalized.. when i made the newer videos lower case.. removed the old ones and re-imported them as lower case versions they worked.. so there you have it.. heh.
