Description

Cant load any video using VideoPlayer or Video. When I launch the application, I get an endless animation of loading if I use VideoPlayer or a blank(white) screen if I use Video.

Code and Logs

from os.path import dirname, join
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.videoplayer import VideoPlayer

class VideoPlayerApp(App):

    def build(self):
        curdir = dirname(__file__)
        filename = join(curdir, 'cityCC0.mpg')
        return VideoPlayer(source=filename, state='play')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    VideoPlayerApp().run()

Hello, please I am having the same issue here; I also get: Error loading texture cat.mp4 It doesn’t seem like the problem was solved. Could someone help with this? Thank you.

Did you run python -m pip install ffpyplayer ?
