video:isPlaying() still true after end of play

[crocmiam]

Hello,

I tried the new video API with a short video but when the video has ended, video:isPlaying() still returns true. Is this expected?

Code: Select all

local video

function love.load()
  video = love.graphics.newVideo("video.ogv")
  video:play()
end

function love.update()
  print(video:isPlaying())
end

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.draw(video, 0, 0)
end

Thanks for the report! We'll try to fix it ASAP.

Is there any way to get the duration of a video?

Kind of a hack but you should be able to get it from the audio Source with Source:getDuration() (you can get the source with video: get source()). This might of course not work if the video doesn't have an audio track and is a bit weird in general.

It turns out Ogg Theora is particularly awkward because it doesn't have any kind of length info or index. The love.video code could definitely use some cleanup, and apparently bugfixes, and could definitely use some more features. Consider it something for 0.10.1. Feature request welcome, though.

I can confirm that I have the same problem! I need to make some videos to loop so I thought that rewinding them when this flag will go back to false should do the trick but it never comes back to false...

Might be interesting to verify: does the cpu usage increase? It might be that the video thread gets stuck decoding.

Quick test: during playback, love uses ~10% of the CPU (as reported by htop on Ubuntu), after playback it decreases to ~5%.

Same here, it decreases even more around 1-2%.

EDIT: testing on Windows 7 for me.

Even though it did mark as finished for me, closing love after did cause a hang, so I debugged that and I just committed a fix. That should also make sure isPlaying is false, but I couldn't confirm that.
