Play GIF in MV (PKD VPlayer) [MV, MZ]

[kako05]

@Pheonix KageDesu
Hey, I just wanted to inform you that my initial issue was caused by buggy PIXI which RPGM MV uses in the most recent version.
https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/issues/4089

I've updated my game's PIXI with a newer 4.8.9 version and videos no longer stutter at 1-3fps using plugins like this.
Maybe you can look over the file I attached and add the required code lines to fix the issue so that other people can avoid potential problems like this?
It's basically fixing RPGM MV Pixi to avoid the issue.

Thank so much for the plugin! I found i bug. i put this command:

ShowVAnim(1, "orlandeaulimit", $gameVariables.value(924), $gameVariables.value(929), false)
But the loop stays on, even if is "false". And more weird is when i put another gif dont loop. Maybe the size of gif?

Thank you @decinbr , will check. Soon I will make some update and also try make port for MZ

Is there anyway to preload these videos webm?
Because sometimes the first frame shows with black background.

 

[Pheonix KageDesu]

Maybe call play webm outside screen a little before, then when it's needs to show, just move instantly to proper position

This might be a stupid question, but would you be able to play a loop image that covers the whole (or most of the screen) while showing text and dialogue choices?

I'm hoping to make a few dialogue cut scenes and this seems perfect

Yes, if MZ then call plugin command ShowVAnim -> for parameter 'order' select 'Screen, below windows'
If MV, then script call: ShowVAnimOnSpriteset(...)
All information you can find in plugin help section

Thanks! It fixed the issue with .webm

Sorry if this is already explained but this could be used to add animated backgrounds to the battle to make them look like Earthbound? If so can someone give me a brief rundown on how to get that going?

I use a plugin that allows accessing the options/save/load during the event.
Unfortunately, the video disappears when the menu is opened, but lucky enough it will reappear once the menu is closed.
Any way to keep the video on the screen while the menu is opened (without dissapearing)?

Video attached to Map Scene, menu is another scene, so, when we open the menu, map scene is destroyed (and all attached graphics). I see one way, store video playback time and after return from menu scene, restart and resume video on certain (stored) time (not from start). But I'm not sure if the video element has such methods to remember the playback time and then set it again.
