relative path for videos stored locally ?

[hype]

can you not use relative paths to videos stored locally on your computer ?

video.openAndPlay("data/video.mp4");

[linux-man]

Yes. Try:

println(sketchPath("video.mp4"));
video.openAndPlay(sketchPath("video.mp4"));
println(dataPath("video.mp4"));
video.openAndPlay(dataPath("video.mp4"));

Maybe you can use one of these.
You can also use absolute paths.

thanks for the quick reply...

println(sketchPath("video.mp4")); video.openAndPlay(sketchPath("video.mp4"));

worked great. but on exit I get...

[000000003d8bef80] main vout display error: Failed to set on top [000000004b4aaf20] main vout display error: Failed to set on top [000000004ba14dd0] main vout display error: Failed to set on top [000000004ba14dd0] main vout display error: Failed to set on top [00000000486a6520] main vout display error: Failed to set on top [00000000486a6520] main vout display error: Failed to set on top

or

have you ever encountered this ?

[linux-man]

No. Not on Linux with Processing 4.3, not with the library examples.
The only reference I found about that error was this one: caprica/vlcj#17

cheers I should test on my linux build and see if I get the same results. this is happening on my win 11 builds... and yeah... it works... it's only on sketch exit... so... I just say thanks for the quick help and not give these exit errors much thought... lol. have a great day.
