playing avi files on Mac

Scripting Issues
1

Hi all,

I’m facing difficulties to play a video on Mac.
I tried to follow the manual with :

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from pandac.PandaModules import *
import sys

class Start(DirectObject):
	def __init__(self):
		self.accept("escape", sys.exit)
		
		card= loader.loadModel("card.bam")
		card.reparentTo(render)
		
		myMovieTexture=loader.loadTexture("Movies/0001_0201.avi")
		card.setTexture(myMovieTexture)
Start()
run()

which make Panda crash:

Then I followed the Media-Player simple with :

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from pandac.PandaModules import *
import sys

class Start(DirectObject):
	def __init__(self):
		self.accept("escape", sys.exit)
		
		card= loader.loadModel("card.bam")
		card.reparentTo(render)
		
		self.tex = MovieTexture("name")
		self.tex.read("Movies/0001_0201.avi")
		card.setTexture(self.tex)
		card.setTexScale(TextureStage.getDefault(), self.tex.getTexScale())
Start()
run()

Where two colors are looped : blue → red → blue …

I got the same result if I try the PandaSneezes.avi sample.
The sample works correctly on Windows.

What version of Panda are you running? This may be an error that we have fixed on the cvs trunk.
