Unigine::WidgetSpriteVideo Class

Header: #include <UnigineWidgets.h>
Inherits from: WidgetSprite

This class is used to create a virtual monitor that plays a video file (currently only *.OGV files are supported). It can be synchrozied with playback of the ambient sound or the directional sound source.

The following example illustrates how to play a video-file on the system GUI or a GUI object using the WidgetSpriteVideo class.

Create a C++ component named VideoSprite and copy the code below to the corresponding files:

Source code (C++)
#pragma once
#include <UnigineComponentSystem.h>
class VideoSprite :
	public Unigine::ComponentBase
{
public:
	COMPONENT_DEFINE(VideoSprite, Unigine::ComponentBase);
	COMPONENT_INIT(init);
	// path to the video file to play (only *.OGV type is supported)
	PROP_PARAM(File, file_name, "");

private:
	// sprite video widgets
	Unigine::WidgetSpriteVideoPtr TVscreen;
	Unigine::WidgetSpriteVideoPtr MAINscreen;
	void init();

};
Source code (C++)
#include "VideoSprite.h"
#include <UnigineGui.h>
REGISTER_COMPONENT(VideoSprite);

using namespace Unigine;

void VideoSprite::init()
{
	// creating the first sprite video widget that plays a file_name video file on the system GUI
	MAINscreen = WidgetSpriteVideo::create(Gui::getCurrent(), file_name, 1);

	// setting size and position of the second sprite video widget on the screen
	MAINscreen->setPosition(100, 100);
	MAINscreen->setWidth(400);
	MAINscreen->setHeight(225);
	MAINscreen->arrange();

	// adding the sprite video widge to the system GUI
	Gui::getCurrent()->addChild(MAINscreen, Gui::ALIGN_OVERLAP | Gui::ALIGN_BACKGROUND);

	// setting looped playback mode
	MAINscreen->setLoop(1);

	// launching playback
	MAINscreen->play();

	// checking if the node to which the component is assigned is a GUI Object
	if (node->getType() != Node::OBJECT_GUI)
	{
		Log::message("Node is not a GUI Object!\n");
		return;
	}
	ObjectGuiPtr GUIObject = checked_ptr_cast<ObjectGui>(node);

	// creating the second sprite video widget that plays a file_name video file on the GUI object
	TVscreen = WidgetSpriteVideo::create(GUIObject->getGui(), file_name, 1);

	// adjusting the size of the widget to fit the size of the GUI object
	TVscreen->setWidth(GUIObject->getScreenWidth());
	TVscreen->setHeight(GUIObject->getScreenHeight());

	// adding the sprite video widget to the GUI object
	GUIObject->getGui()->addChild(TVscreen, Gui::ALIGN_OVERLAP | Gui::ALIGN_BACKGROUND);

	// setting looped playback mode
	TVscreen->setLoop(1);

	// launching playback
	TVscreen->play();
}

WidgetSpriteVideo Class

Members


static WidgetSpriteVideoPtr create ( const Ptr<Gui> & gui, const char * name = 0, int mode = 1 ) #

Constructor. Creates a new sprite that plays video and adds it to the specified GUI.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Gui> & gui - GUI, to which the new sprite will belong.
  • const char * name - Path to a video file.
  • int mode - YUV flag: 1 if conversion to RGB should be performed by the GPU, 0 - if by the CPU.

static WidgetSpriteVideoPtr create ( const char * name = 0, int mode = 1 ) #

Constructor. Creates a new sprite that plays video and adds it to the Engine GUI.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Path to a video file.
  • int mode - YUV flag: 1 if conversion to RGB should be performed by the GPU, 0 - if by the CPU.

void setAmbientSource ( const Ptr<AmbientSource> & source ) #

Synchronizes video playback to the ambient sound source playback.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<AmbientSource> & source - Ambient sound source according to which video playback will be synchronized.

Ptr<AmbientSource> getAmbientSource ( ) const#

Returns the ambient sound source according to which video playback is synchronized.

Return value

Ambient sound source.

void setLoop ( int loop ) #

Sets a value indicating if the video should be looped.

Arguments

  • int loop - Positive number to loop the video, 0 to play it only once.

int getLoop ( ) const#

Returns a value indicating if the video is looped.

Return value

Positive number if the video is looped; otherwise, 0.

bool isPlaying ( ) const#

Returns a value indicating if the video is being played at the moment.

Return value

1 if the video is being played; otherwise, 0.

void setSoundSource ( const Ptr<SoundSource> & source ) #

Synchronizes video playback to the sound source playback.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<SoundSource> & source - Sound source according to which video playback will be synchronized.

Ptr<SoundSource> getSoundSource ( ) const#

Returns the sound source according to which video playback is synchronized.

Return value

Sound source.

bool isStopped ( ) const#

Returns a value indicating if the video is stopped at the moment.

Return value

1 if the video is stopped; otherwise, 0.

void setVideoTime ( float time ) #

Rewinds or fast-forwards the video to a given time.

Arguments

  • float time - Time in seconds.

float getVideoTime ( ) const#

Returns the time of the currently played frame.

Return value

Time in seconds.

void setYUV ( int yuv ) #

Sets a flag for YUV conversion.

Arguments

  • int yuv - Mode flag: 1 if conversion to RGB should be performed by the GPU, 0 if it is converted by the CPU.

int getYUV ( ) const#

Returns a flag for YUV conversion.

Return value

1 if conversion to RGB is performed by the GPU, 0 if it is converted by the CPU.

void play ( ) #

Starts playing video.

void stop ( ) #

Stops playing video. This function saves the playback position so that playing of the file can be resumed from the same point.
