Thanks for the info René. I've done some testing and I've been able to
play a movie via a pipe to ffmpeg. So it looks like that will work :-)

Hi,
The movie module might be dropped this release if no one can pick up
maintenance.
Checkout https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy
This shows it might not be too hard to make a backend which pipes from
ffmpeg.

There is a VLC pygame.movie backend as well, but not sure how well
it's working currently.
Maybe some more collaboration with moviepy people could be a good idea.
best,

Thanks Michael for your comments.
Does anyone know what the future is for the movie module ? Will be
eventually be included in all builds ? It would be great if it
also supported a more modern video format (mpeg1 is not great for
HD movies).
Or should I be looking for an alternative ? I did see a post
somewhere about piping data to/from ffmpeg ?
Cheers,
Ted.

Hello Ted,
That’s quite the effort, and I’d love to give it a go on my
Kubunutu Linux setup, but the pygame movie module isn’t
implemented here, so my pygame cannot play the .mpg videos :(
python TimeTrek.py
TimeTrek.py:2948: RuntimeWarning: use movie: No module named movie
(ImportError: No module named movie)
movie = pygame.movie.Movie("movies/PreIntro.mpg")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "TimeTrek.py", line 2969, in <module>
main()
File "TimeTrek.py", line 87, in main
preintro()
File "TimeTrek.py", line 2948, in preintro
movie = pygame.movie.Movie("movies/PreIntro.mpg")
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygame/__init__.py",
line 102, in __getattr__
raise NotImplementedError(MissingPygameModule)
NotImplementedError: movie module not available
(ImportError: No module named movie)
It would be great if you could get an account on pygame.org
<http://pygame.org> so you could post your game there for
discovery and feedback.
Can anyone here help Ted showcase his game on pygame.org
<http://pygame.org>?

Hi guys,
I've been unsuccessful at getting registered on pygame.org
<http://pygame.org>, so I thought
I'd post a link to my game here. Sorry if that's the wrong
thing to do.
My game (Time Trek) is based on a game I played on the
TRS-80 (micro
computer from the late 70s). I've updated... everything a
bit :-)
Here's a link to download it :-
https://mega.co.nz/#!QZMTgR6S!4DJQ8KvQ5VdXwnCKIR63ouU2ng0z7Q93c4kzE3A1foo
<https://mega.co.nz/#%21QZMTgR6S%214DJQ8KvQ5VdXwnCKIR63ouU2ng0z7Q93c4kzE3A1foo>
It requires python 2.7 and a pygame 1.9.2 that contains
the movie module
(http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py2.7.msi).
Also at least a core 2 duo or better processor.
I hope you enjoy it and any feedback is welcome.
Cheers,
Ted.
