Video Playback in CopperCube - Coppercube documentation

The Video Playback System

Create a scene node where you want the video to be displayed. This can be either a 2D Overlay or any 3D Object with a texture.

Somewhere, trigger an action to start playing the video. Like add a "when clicked do something" action to any object, and in there, add the action to start playing a video, named Play or Stop a Video.

In there, specify the file name of the video to be played.

Be sure to upload the video to the same server into the same directory as your CopperCube demo, or for the windows target, distribute your video along with the game.

Platform Specific Video Playback Limitations

Target	Supported Formats	Comments
WebGL	basically all file formats the browser is able to play. Our tests showed that .mp4 works best, but also .ogv.	Not all browsers support the same video files equally well. Be sure to test your video playback on all browsers before publishing your work.
Windows .exe	Video playback works on Windows with all installed DirectShow video decoders. You can download and install additional ones, and the default ones work with basic video formats, such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. Notice that the decoder for your specific video needs to be installed on the target system, so be sure to either use a common codec which is installed on all systems, or install your codec with your app on the system.	The frame rate of your app must be high when playing a video in order not to get it out of sync with audio. Be sure not to do a lot of stuff when playing a video.
