resume() on MP4Sprite causes random video freezes

[ActualMandM]

Trying to use resume() (even if the video is currently playing) will have a random chance of the video feed instantly freezing, freezing for a bit, or just not freezing at all.

I don't know what's causing it, since on the LibVLC file, the pause and resume function both use libvlc_media_player_pause(libVlcMediaPlayer);

[polybiusproxy]

My guess is that upon pausing, libVLC frees the video buffer, and then tries to load it again upon resuming.

[ActualMandM]

What would happen if the two functions used libvlc_media_player_set_pause instead?

void LibVLC::pause()
{
	libvlc_media_player_set_pause(libVlcMediaPlayer, 1);
}

void LibVLC::resume()
{
	libvlc_media_player_set_pause(libVlcMediaPlayer, 0);
}

[polybiusproxy]

Why don't you try? I don't think it'll work, since I guess that the libvlc_media_player_pause function is just a short way of doing libvlc_media_player_set_pause, but I guess it's worth it trying.

I've just tried it out and seems to have the same result.

[polybiusproxy]

No idea then.

funkin colors but da vid is broken as heck

Wait, could you try to pause/resume the video without pausing the whole state?
It may be that the pause substate in FNF is somehow interfering.

Just tried it out, and it pauses and unpauses just fine. Also apparently resume() can both pause and unpause.

After messing with it a bit more, this appears to just be an implementation issue on my end.

Checking for isPlaying and doing the syncing & unpausing in resyncVocals makes it work fine now, even if it's frozen for a split second after unpausing.
