How do you play an mp4 video in Pygame?
I have tried pygame.movie but this does not work...
Theres also moviepy, but I am having trouble changing the title of the window that pops up. It says "MoviePy", not sure how to change that.
import moviepy
from moviepy.editor import *
import os
os.environ["SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED"] = "1"
clip = VideoFileClip('qq.mp4')
clip.preview()
execfile("qq.py") # Execute my game right after the clip shows
How would I change the title from "MoviePy" to my "my game name"
Any help would be appreciated!
movie in Python to play video. The file must be in mpg format else it will not support the playing of file.
The methods clip. show and clip. preview enable you to visualize the clip in a Pygame window. They are the fastest way to preview, as the clips are generated and displayed at the same time, and they can be useful to get the coordinates or colors of pixels.
First: you can use
import moviepy
print(moviepy.__file__)
to find source code and see how it works.
After searching in source code you will see that it uses pygame
to display it and you can try to use pygame function set_caption()
to change title.
from moviepy.editor import *
import pygame
pygame.display.set_caption('Hello World!')
clip = VideoFileClip('video.mp4')
clip.preview()
pygame.quit()
