[UE 4.5.1]FloadingScreen MoviePaths and Video Format

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to realize an Animated Loading screen and avoid that UE4 freeze the main thread of the game when I run an open Level instruction.

I understood that this is not doable using Blueprints, I’m trying to make work the FLoadingScreenAtrributes to play a movie between a Level to another.

void UWWS_BlueprintFunctionLibrary::ShowLoadingScreen()
{
	FLoadingScreenAttributes LoadingScreen;
	LoadingScreen.bAutoCompleteWhenLoadingCompletes = false;
	LoadingScreen.bMoviesAreSkippable = false;
	LoadingScreen.MinimumLoadingScreenDisplayTime = 10;
	//LoadingScreen.WidgetLoadingScreen = FLoadingScreenAttributes::NewTestLoadingScreenWidget();

	LoadingScreen.MoviePaths.Add(TEXT("Test"));


	GetMoviePlayer()->SetupLoadingScreen(LoadingScreen);
	GetMoviePlayer()->PlayMovie();

}

From the documentation I found I need to specify only the name of the video I want to play.
In this code I’m trying to play the video just to see what happen when I call this function, and what I obtain is just a black screen.

Inside my Unreal Project I have put inside this folder Content/Movies the video that I want to play , first encoding it in .mp4 , then in .wmv . And I had not success with both

What I’m doing wrong?

I also encountered the same problem,are you solved?

Yes, the problem was the video format. Encoding the video in .MP4 with H.264 @ 720p and 25 fps, it solved my problem.

Don’t forget to run the project as stand alone game, playing inside viewport or on a new editor window will not work
