VideoPlayer

Inherits: Control < CanvasItem < Node < Object

Control for playing video streams.

Description

Control node for playing video streams using VideoStream resources.

Supported video formats are WebM (.webm, VideoStreamWebm), Ogg Theora (.ogv, VideoStreamTheora), and any format exposed via a GDNative plugin using VideoStreamGDNative.

Note: Due to a bug, VideoPlayer does not support localization remapping yet.

Warning: On HTML5, video playback will perform poorly due to missing architecture-specific assembly optimizations, especially for VP8/VP9.

Methods

String	get_stream_name ( ) const
Texture	get_video_texture ( ) const
bool	is_playing ( ) const
void	play ( )
void	stop ( )

Signals

finished ( )

Emitted when playback is finished.

Property Descriptions

int audio_track

Default	0
Setter	set_audio_track(value)
Getter	get_audio_track()

The embedded audio track to play.

bool autoplay

Default	false
Setter	set_autoplay(value)
Getter	has_autoplay()

If true, playback starts when the scene loads.

int buffering_msec

Default	500
Setter	set_buffering_msec(value)
Getter	get_buffering_msec()

Amount of time in milliseconds to store in buffer while playing.

String bus

Default	"Master"
Setter	set_bus(value)
Getter	get_bus()

Audio bus to use for sound playback.

bool expand

Default	true
Setter	set_expand(value)
Getter	has_expand()

If true, the video scales to the control size. Otherwise, the control minimum size will be automatically adjusted to match the video stream's dimensions.

bool paused

Default	false
Setter	set_paused(value)
Getter	is_paused()

If true, the video is paused.

VideoStream stream

Setter	set_stream(value)
Getter	get_stream()

The assigned video stream. See description for supported formats.

float stream_position

Setter	set_stream_position(value)
Getter	get_stream_position()

The current position of the stream, in seconds.

Note: Changing this value won't have any effect as seeking is not implemented yet, except in video formats implemented by a GDNative add-on.

float volume

Setter	set_volume(value)
Getter	get_volume()

Audio volume as a linear value.

float volume_db

Default	0.0
Setter	set_volume_db(value)
Getter	get_volume_db()

Audio volume in dB.

Method Descriptions

String get_stream_name ( ) const

Returns the video stream's name, or "<No Stream>" if no video stream is assigned.

Texture get_video_texture ( ) const

Returns the current frame as a Texture.

bool is_playing ( ) const

Returns true if the video is playing.

Note: The video is still considered playing if paused during playback.

void play ( )

Starts the video playback from the beginning. If the video is paused, this will not unpause the video.

void stop ( )

Stops the video playback and sets the stream position to 0.

Note: Although the stream position will be set to 0, the first frame of the video stream won't become the current frame.
