Playing videos in QB64
« on: July 30, 2020, 03:53:12 pm »
Is mcisendstring still the only way to do it? I've tried everything I can to play a video and nothing works. Always an error. Has anyone ever figured out a reliable way to do it?

Not in pure QB64 that I know of, but you can call an external program or a DLL to play them.  I made a small DLL in purebasic once to play videos in a QB64 window which worked (kind of buggy and very basic player however), so it can be done.

I'll dig up the VideoPlay DLL and post it if you'd like (and the purebasic source to it).  It was a small DLL if I recall right, around 15k.  I just have to find it...
