Hello all, Currently working on porting my windows app to Android. The Windows app has a startup animation in the form of a video. I tried to use the built in video library of Processing, but that just crashes the app and yields this in the console: FATAL EXCEPTION: Animation Thread Process: com.T…

@noel === working code (from the first one you posted ) but i have also the version getting the frameLayout:: import android.media.MediaMetadataRetriever; import android.os.Looper; import android.app.Activity; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.view.View; import android.view.SurfaceHol…

@akenaton Thank you very much. I understood the setDataSource and prepare() tip. But the mySurface.setZOrderOnTop(true); really did the trick. Great!

My idea was to split the video into each frame, …

@Mesalcode === Have you tried what i have explained? (i have tested and it works) Can you put some code snippet wich shows what you are doing when it crashes?

[image] Mesalcode: My idea was to split the video into each frame, store the frames in an array and then iterate through the frames every time draw is called. That’s far too memory consuming. When you use the Gif lib with a small file, you already have to extend processing’s memory use to 1G …
