The playing keeps unchecking itself every time I leave studio and join the game. I come back to studio and it is off.

#340

You should publish your game so it saves lol. I forget sometimes too.

#341

I am publishing the game and its still happening.

#342

Hmm maybe write a piece of code which changes the playing value of the video to true, that could run at the start.

#343

I am not a scripter so I don’t know how I would write that code. It would also be nice to not have to insert a code each time.

#344

For some reason, this does not happen at my testing place. I did use a diffrent video this time.

#345

I did find a code and it does work. It would still be nice to not have to use it.

The compression on these videos is absolutely horrible and it appears to be that the files are compressed on upload, not on playback. If you want this feature to be useful for anything more than a waterfall slowly moving in a still frame, then you’ll need to make the compression much much less aggressive. Having 2010 youtube level video quality in a 2020 game doesn’t feel good at all.

Also this brings up another question:
When will we be able to stream video or audio, and have people be able to watch live-streams in a roblox game,

Just for ease:
(put in normal script in the video)

local video = script.Parent

video.Playing = true

Basically if you put the video on loop, it will be the same as gifs you can also disable the sounds

#356

So far it is working. Hopefully, Roblox deals with these sort of bugs so we don’t need scripts. Thank you.

…exactly. That’s what @R4C3x said.

#361

I got one question.

Will they work instantly after uploading or do we have to wait for moderator to review the video and then we can use it?

#363

Yes actually it will might cost robux to upload because
a audio costs 500 to upload
and video and audio gonna be like more then that I think I’m not sure that depends on roblox.

But there are gonna be issues with the copyright so beware of that.

Are we able to make the videos transparent? Can you please add this if it isn’t an option already.

While that does make things easier, I would get out of the habit of making a script for every video instance. Use the least number of scripts possible in your game, and use Module Scripts to break up the code.
