Video Background Problems

[ambiguity]

I posted this on the FoFF forums, but it didn't get much attention there, so I though maybe it would here.

I had some videos for some songs in their folders, and they worked fine. I converted them to a different format and size though, and now the converted versions don't show up in game(it replaces them with a static stage).

Here's a picture of one of the folders with a converted video in it, and it's song.ini open:

Man I seriously have no idea what is going on now. After trying many different conversions of the videos, I tried putting back the original unconverted videos, and now even those don't work(and yes I made sure to change the name back in the song.ini) .

In addition, I found this error in my GameLog.txt file:
Sat Nov 20 19:28:54 2010 - Could Not Setup Local Video Background! - Reverting to 2d Background!

ohhhhh, this is easy, create a copy of the song.ini, now in the orginal, delete everything except for the song name and artist, it should look like this:



[song]
Artist = (I forgot who sings that)
Name = GO! GO! MANIAC
video = background.avi
video_loop = False


PS has a bug that conflicts with extra stuff in the song.ini, david said he's already fixed it hence why I say to make a backup

There can be many things causing this issue. The next version will include more details error reports for video backgrounds so I can narrow down issues easier. For now all you can do is the obvious things like making sure you have the latest Graphics Card Drivers and the correct Codecs installed.

Thanks

well first off, what format and codec are the videos in? you may want to download a video that is already encoded in a format PS can read to see if it's a format/codec issued, try downloading a video from this post and see if it works

I think I've fixed this bug since the last version. I seem to remeber this happening to my laptop and I fixed it. I'm not 100% sure because I haven't noted it down in my change log but I think I sorted it.

So hopefully the next version will fix this issue.

Thanks
David

All right , here we go again ._.'

The bug of the resolution has fixed ( yay! '-' )

but the video still bugged , stop and everything has black and the video returns. ._.'

HOW TO FIX THAT? D:

- i will try to re-install the codecs.
