My first attempts were to use pystreamer to get image buffers that i'd convert into textures, etc. Today i've learned about your project to "resurect" the movie extension. So, in an attempt to test your progress, i've written the following code[1] derived from your testcase _movie_test.py. After converting my movie using the mencoder command suggested in movie_test.py (just in case...), executing my code results in X, xcb or double free errors (vary from time to time). Using the examples/data/blue.mpg triggers the same result. Reading your recent blog entries I can only think that i'm hitting that X bug you've mentioned. Is it the case? In any case, i wish you all the best! PS: I had to modify config_unix.py in order to have it find ffmpeg[2].
