Re: [pygame] Playing a media file, Windows + BSD

Mmm, unfortunately, my replacement movie module isn't ready for release.

I have been thinking about using libvlc instead of libffmpeg. I do know there is python bindings for libvlc:

The movie module is very picky about video formats. Here's a link to a video that works with pygame.movie on my computer:

Can you make that video play?

Hello,

I need to play a movie (with it's corresponding audio) in my pygame window.
Seeing as the movie playing in pygame apparently doesn't work on
latest windows I'd like a recommendation on what to use for Windows
Python 2.6 that would also work with BSD and optionally Linux too.

The movie module does usually work.  Try the code suggested in the comments,
Ian
