What is the simplest video playback library available for SDL? I’ve tried SDL_ffmpeg but its a bit too complicated for my tastes. Is there any higher-level library?
hi,
there’s one with pygame… but that’s python unfortunately. Well, it’s
written in C as a python module. So you might be able to extract it… but
I guess not as simple as SDL_ffmpeg because of that.
The easiest way to use it is like this:
movie = Movie(movie_file)
movie.play()
It should be in the next released version of pygame. There’s also a VLC
backend for if machines do not have ffmpeg installed - but I don’t think
that backend is as well tested(yet).
It was written by Tyler as a gsoc project.
