:play()

Plays a movie one time and stops at the last frame.

Note: Currently L5 can only play ogv (Ogg Theora) video files. Use an external program such as Handbrake or ffmpeg (command line) to convert mp4, avi, mkv, and mov codecs first.

Examples

function setup()
  windowTitle("loadVideo example")

  video = loadVideo("assets/heads.ogv")
  video:play()

  describe("A basic example of loading a video, then playing it by drawing frames in the draw loop")
end

function draw()
  background(51) 

  image(video, 0, 0, width, height)
end

Syntax

videofile:play()
