Re: [pygame] problem - movie in pygame

[bhaaluu <bhaaluu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I run a Debian GNU/Linux system, Python 2.4.4 and PyGame 1.7.

I use this script to play movies. Maybe you can modify it for your game?

#!/usr/bin/python
"""Usage: python playMovie.py movie.mpg
   'q' = Quit
"""
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

def main(filepath):
  pygame.init()
  pygame.mixer.quit()
  movie = pygame.movie.Movie(filepath)
  screen = pygame.display.set_mode(movie.get_size())
  movie.set_display(screen)

  pygame.event.set_allowed((QUIT, KEYDOWN))
  movie.play()
  while movie.get_busy():
      evt = pygame.event.wait()
      if evt.type == QUIT:
          break
      if evt.type == KEYDOWN and evt.unicode == u'q':
          break
  if movie.get_busy():
      movie.stop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
  import sys
  main(sys.argv[1])

Hopefully helpful,
