Greetings,

Love the plugin! I am having a couple issues with the MZ version of this plugin, however. I would greatly appreciate any assistance that can be offered.

The first is, on a pre-title movie, my movie's audio is completely silent. The video plays perfectly fine, but for the entire movie there is not a peep of audio. Is there a way to enable the audio?

Second, when the pre-title movie transistions to the title movie, there is a black flash across the screen about half a second after the title movie is playing, and it looks very jarring. Is there something I can do to remove this black flash effect?

Hello! I'm sorry you're experiencing these problems. Are these problems happening when the plugin is running alongside other plugins or is this inside an empty project? It's possible this is a conflict with another plugin as I've never seen these problems before. If we could narrow down the possibilities of where this issue is coming from that would be a huge step toward fixing the issue.

The sound should work on pre-title movies and there is no way to disable it without going into the code so this is likely some kind of conflict causing the issue. As far as the black flash goes this is something i've also never seen happen before.  

If we could locate where this possible conflict is occurring I'll see if I can find a solution.

Thank you and good luck!

Thank you for the reply!

So actually I've figured out what was going on with the audio, that was a mistake on my end. The video wasn't converted properly, with a proper conversion the audio plays just fine! Seems you cannot simply just change the extension to .webm and everything is fine, lol.

However, the black flash problem persists with the new videos. It occasionally happens at the start of the pre-title movie as well. This is with no other plugins whatsoever on a brand new project.

The black flash doesn't always occur, it seems like 1 in 5 times it'll happen. It is very jarring when it does though, looks like the game may be about to crash.

Edit: If it helps any, to clarify, the black flash occurs after the background title movie is loaded and displayed, like a second after it is shown immediately following the end of the pre-title movie.

Also, with the pre-title movie, I've only ever seen this black flash happen once, and when it did the words on the screen got scrambled for a moment as well. For whatever reason I cannot get it the issue to repeat on the pre-title screen, so that may have just been a weird computer blip for a second?

Again though, with the transistion from pre-title to title, the black flash happens a good 20% of the time in running the game.

Notritter,

Well after deploying the project and trying it on a different computer with the new videos, the other computer did not have the black flash on transistions.

Turns out my nividia graphics installation at some point became corrupted. Got in touch with support there and got those issues fixed, and voila, no more jarring black flash transitions with your plugin!

So with this, and the correctly coverted webm files, both of my issues are fixed. Both problems were on my end. My apologies for wasting your time, and thank you again for your reply and work on the plugin.

Have a great rest of your week,

PS: Your information that you did not have these issues on your end were key to figuring out that the problems were with my own methods. So, thank you for this information :).

Great to hear you got it all figured out, nice job! If you encounter any other issues be sure to let me know.

Thank you and Happy Game Making!
