Call a video from QB64 - Kernelpanic - 09-02-2022

Actually, no new routine for calling a video has to be worked into QB64, it can also be done that way.
One can call a program for playing videos created in Visual Basic with "Run" from QB64. In the example, programs and video are in the same directory, but this is not necessary.

Let's see if you can also call up a player directly. Would be even easier. Rolleyes

Code: (Select All)
'VisualBasic Videoprogramm aufrufen - 2. Sept. 2022

Print

Print "Ruft ein VisualBasic Programm zum Abspielen von Videos auf."

Print

Print "Weiter mit beliebiger Taste . . ."

Do

Loop While InKey$ = ""

'Aufruf des VB-Programms

Run "Video-abspielen.exe"

End

Why do you want to play a video as part of an app built with QB64 or any other programming system? Unless it's a tutorial... but some people just brush it off and "want to make some noize!" The quotation comes from my using music software. Someone is going to want to get fancy such as downloading from Youtube to watch the video inside your program...

It's going ok! It doesn't find Windows Player, but I know why. I still have to see. As a replacement, I have called the VLC.

So one can call practically any program. . . interesting possibilities open up.

I don't understand this question. Huh
