Delay when loading videos #677

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

local bg = fe.add_image( FeConfigDirectory+"gtc-common/videos/bkg_anim.mp4", 0, 0, flw, flh ); Doesn't produce the same result in daily build as in stable release. In daily build there is a delay effect when loading the video, resulting in split second black screen. Very visible when navigating left/right between systems.

A similar issue occurs when navigating between games - I use a static video beneath the game snap videos so it is shown when a game snap is not available. In the daily build you can see the static when I navigate the games wheel which doesn't happen in the stable build.

Adding "fe.image_cache.bg_load = true" to the layout.nut script doesn't help.

Here is a video comparing the stable release (v2.6.1) to the daily build, showing the issues: https://youtu.be/vHEMUAn_u3w

Does it happen as well when you set

fe.image_cache.bg_load = false

??

Yes, just tested it.

Apparently, it seems video preloading was moved into a separate thread but first you initialize the texture container which stays black until 1st frame is decoded.

I hope it helps solve this issue.
