I can´t skip any of the intro movies added to Projects>movies

The bool “Movies are Skippable” don´t work at all. Is it a bug or I´m simply missing something?

thanks for any help

Hello FilipeTessaro,

So I did some digging and found a little bit of information on this feature. Remember to turn on ‘Wait for Movies to Complete’ in the movies tab. Expected behavior without this flag is to stop as soon as level load is complete (so it can be used as a loading screen).

This means, if you have ‘Movies are Skippable’ it can be skipped by pressing the mouse inputs. If you leave the ‘Wait for Movies to Complete’ unchecked, as soon as your Game Default map is loaded, it will cut your videos short.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,

Hi Andrew
Thanks for your reply, but that isn´t the problem. Both are set to true and I pressed everything in mouse or keyboard, the movie never skip, none of them.

Having a intro of about 4 mins isn´t good if you cant skip it if the player wants. Removing it isn´t nice too… so what can we do? :frowning:

Is there any settings I have to change? Maybe the player controller so the engine detects input? I mean, something simple must be the problem…

I would honestly need the video in question if that is the case. Most startup movies and videos are shorter than a minute, and using the media framework to call a lengthier movie will give you greater control.

Is this a blueprint or code-based project?

How many movies do you have?

Can you reproduce this is a new blank project using only the video files is question?

Thank you,

H

it is a coded project. Just tested in a blank project and it works with the same video -.-
I really don´t understand…

Is it possible some kind of settings in my project? Where could I look?

Yeah, I would check to make sure you are not overriding those settings somewhere. Check to make sure your movies are all placed in your Content/Movies directory folder. They aren’t expected to work unless you have copied these movies into your actual Unreal Project directory.

Apart from that, check your Project Settings to make sure you are not overriding the option.

Thank you,
