Video

This extension allows you to load and display videos onto sprites.

Unlike costumes, videos are temporary. As in, they are not loaded when the project is opened. Instead, videos are loaded with blocks as the project is running.

Video Management

load video from URL [https://extensions.turbowarp.org/dango.mp4] as [my video] :: #557882

Videos can be imported using this block.

The URL input must point directly to the video file (for example, a URL ending in .mp4, .webm, or another supported video format). Data.URIs are supported.

The extension supports any video format that your browser's standard <video> element can play.

You must also provide a name for the video. This name is used by other blocks to identify and reference the imported video.
Importing a video with the same name as another will overwrite the data of that video. Any sprite that was using this video will now show the new one.

delete video [my video] ::#557882

This block will delete the referenced video.

After a video is deleted, it can no longer be referenced by other blocks. Any sprites currently displaying the deleted video will stop using it.

(loaded videos :: #557882)

This reporter will output an array of the names of all imported videos.

show video [my video] on (myself v) :: #557882

Displays the specified video on the selected sprite.

If the sprite is already showing a video, it will be replaced with the new one.

stop showing video on (myself v) :: #557882

Stops displaying a video on the selected sprite and switches back to its original image.

This only removes the video from the sprite. The video remains loaded in the extension and can be shown again later.

(current video on (myself v) :: #557882)

Reports the name of the video currently being displayed on the selected sprite.

If no video is displayed, this block will return an empty value.

Video Playback

start video [my video] at [0] seconds :: #557882

Starts playing the specified video from the given time, in seconds.

If the video is already playing, playback restarts from the specified position.

start video [my video] at [0] seconds and wait until done:: #557882

Starts playing the specified video from the given time, in seconds, and waits until playback finishes.

If the video is already playing, playback restarts from the specified position before waiting for it to finish.

([current time v] of video [my video] :: #557882)

Reports the selected property of the specified video.

Available properties:

current time: Current playback position, in seconds
duration: Total length of the video, in seconds
volume: Current volume, from 0 to 100
width: Native width, in pixels
height: Native height, in pixels
playback rate: Current playback speed (1 is normal speed)

(screenshot of video [my video] at current time :: #557882)

Reports a Data.URI containing an image of the video's current frame.

The returned value can be used anywhere a URL/Data.URI image is accepted, such as the Skins extension.

pause video [my video] :: #557882

Pauses playback of the specified video.

resume video [my video] :: #557882

Resumes playback of the specified video. If the video is already playing, this block has no effect.

set video [my video] to [loop v] :: #557882

Toggles wether the specified video should loop or not.

Reports the selected property of the specified video.

Available properties:

playing: True if the video is actively playing
paused: True if the video is paused
looping: True if the video will loop

set volume of video [my video] to [100] :: #557882

Sets the volume of the specified video.

The volume value ranges from 0 (muted) to 100 (maximum volume).

set playback rate of video [my video] to [2] :: #557882

Changes the playback speed of the specified video.

A value of 1 is the normal playback speed. Values above 1 make the video play faster, while values below 1 make it play slower.

Values less than 0 will do nothing.
