Video player

Any recommended video player objects for modern Irrlicht?

I seem to recall there was a video player that someone created with Irrlicht, but that was quite some time ago and a number of versions of Irrlicht ago. Maybe Irrlicht 1.7? If you can find their code, you might be able to rehack and reintegrate it with Irrlicht. But alas, I'm sorry I don't have the link to that code anymore. It's somewhere buried on the forum.

I wrote a library for loading and playing theora videos. It works just fine with modern irrlicht. Here is the link to my post about it: viewtopic.php?t=52960

Actually I just found this...

Seems like a contender.

That is a pretty cool find. I was hesitant to use ffmpeg in the past because of the patents on the format but from what I understand that patent has either been given up or expired. I might look into adapting some of this myself once I clarify the status of those patents.

Sounds good. Please keep us posted here on the forums about that, it would be really useful

I did some digging and the patents seem to be related to the H264 codec and possibly MPEG-4. If you don't use the non-free and non-gpl flags when building you should be fine but you might want to checkout the FAQ here: https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html
