Ren'Py Inputting Animation/Movie to Renpy

[WhitePhantom]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to do this.
I've spent hours following some kids guide on Youtube, copied it word for word and his works, mine doesn't.

I've got, before the game starts:
image movie = Movie(size=(1920, 1080), xpos=0, ypos=0, xanchor=0, yanchor=0)

Followed by at the appropriate time:
play movie "sex1.ogv" loop
show movie with fade

Then a menu to reply or stop.

All I get is a fade for a second and then the menu, no movie at all.

I'm genuinely at the point with this I want to throw my PC out the window and abandon the game because I can't get it to work and the guide I'm following works flawlessly despite me doing the same thing.

Here's the guide if anybody is interested

Hopefully somebody can help ^^

That video is out of date, the Movie function is now different.
An example:

image main_menu = Movie(play="main_menu.ogv")

label somelabel:
   show main_menu with fade

menu my_menu:
    "DO SOMETHING":
        #### SOME CODE ####
    "DO SOMETHING ELSE":
        ##### SOME OTHER CODE #####

Cheers!
I've got it working now, but I'll change it to the new way so it's more up to date, thanks!

I figured out the first problem incase it helps somebody else.
If you turn sound off in options.rpy, movies do not work.
I turned sound from False to True (despite not having any sound) and it started working

For those interested, it's because "play" is initially intended for audio. So, as optimization, it do nothing if the player asked for no sound. Obviously, it became a problem when "play" started to be also used for video.
