Video only playing after preview

[helex]

Hi David,

I had a show last Sunday with several video-files between image-files. I was using V 214.

The first video file was starting (as I could see on the running time), but the window stayed black.

When I previewed the file this showed up normal. After I had previewed the file I could start it and it showed as expected.

I felt not safe using this version so I restored V 203 and this version started the video's directly as expected.

Also tested V 208 and V 211 and they also started but didn't show the video.

OK, there's an issue when a video cue replaces an image cue.

A work around for the moment is to use a control cue between the image and video cues. Set it to stop the image cue, the Advance Action to End Play and the Post Wait to 100ms.

This gives the image cue time to complete doing what it needs to do with the window and not overlap with the starting of the video cue.

Oops, sorry, just found this is already posted about.
I've run into a bug with the video cues. If I play a video cue with nothing before it, it works fine. However, if I have an image on the screen and then try to play a video cue, only the audio plays, the screen goes back to the desktop. The only way I have been able to solve this is by inserting a control queue in between and using it to stop the previous image queue. I also need to insert a short (100ms) pause before the video cue starts for it to play correctly.
