screen.SetMessagePort(port)
screen.screen.SetAlphaEnable(true)
screen.SwapBuffers()
bitmap=CreateObject("roBitmap", "pkg:/images/background.png")
screen.DrawObject(0,0, bitmap)
player = CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
player.SetMessagePort(port)
player.SetDestinationRect({x:200, y:200, w:200, h:200})
player.SetContentList([{
streamFormat: "mp4"
stream: { url: "http://www.test.com/test.mp4" }
}])
player.Play()
screen.DrawObject(0, 0, player) ' not draw nothing
screen.SwapBuffers()

Re: roVideoPlayer with roScreen

How big is your bitmap? roVideoPlayer by default sits in the lowest z-index, and anything you draw with roScreen will be on a higher index.

Re: roVideoPlayer with roScreen

Well, I see a few problems right off the bat. In line 6 you are using this.screen, but you never set that to anything (in the quoted code anyway). In the last line, you are attempting to draw an roVideoPlayer object to the screen, which doesn't make any sense. And even if you were drawing something sensible, there's no Finish or SwapBuffers call after that to finalize the drawing.

Sorry for this.screen, is an error from copy/paste.

videoplayer.Play()
Important to note you are drawing the videoplayer under the roScreen. If you don't have a hole/transparency in the roScreen , you won't see the video.

Re: roVideoPlayer with roScreen

Solved.

But:
- roUniversalControlEvent not work, i work for fix this
- If i use DrawObject for draw roBitmap, work for show 3 image but n°4 image is hidden. Uhm

    
white=&hFFFFFFFF
font_registry = CreateObject("roFontRegistry")
font = font_registry.GetDefaultFont(10, false, false)
font16px = font_registry.GetDefaultFont(16, true, false)
player = CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
player.SetMessagePort(port)
player.SetDestinationRect({x:54, y:128, w:450, h:350})
player.SetContentList([{
streamFormat: "mp4"
stream: { url: "http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" }
}])
player.Play()

'this have rect trasparent for show player
bitmap=CreateObject("roBitmap", "pkg:/images/test/bg_player.png")
screen.DrawObject(0, 124, bitmap)

bitmap=CreateObject("roBitmap", "pkg:/images/header.png")
screen.DrawObject(0,0, bitmap)

while true
if type(msg) = "roUniversalControlEvent" then
code = msg.GetInt()

if (code = 0) 'back
return -1
else if (code = 2) 'up
return -1
end if

end if
end while

Re: roVideoPlayer with roScreen

while true
if type(msg) = "roUniversalControlEvent" then
code = msg.GetInt()

should be
while true
msg = port.getmessage()
if type(msg) = "roUniversalControlEvent" then
code = msg.GetInt()

assuming you create a messageport somewhere called "port", it's not part of your snippet. You are drawing to screen and this.screen, maybe thats an issue.
