plays videos in egui from file path or from bytes

dependancies:

  • requires ffmpeg 6. follow the build instructions here
  • requires sdl2. by default, a feature is enabled to automatically compile it for you, but you are free to disable it and follow these instructions

usage:

/* called once (top level initialization) */

{ // if using audio...
    let audio_device = egui_video::AudioDevice::new()?;
    
    // don't let audio_device drop out of memory! (or else you lose audio)

    add_audio_device_to_state_somewhere(audio_device);
}
/* called once (creating a player) */

let mut player = egui_video::Player::new(ctx, my_media_path)?;

{ // if using audio...
    player = player.with_audio(&mut my_state.audio_device)
}
/* called every frame (showing the player) */
player.ui(ui, player.size);

contributions

current caveats

  • need to compile in release or opt-level=3 otherwise limited playback performance
