Something strange is going on, but I think I've found a workaround.

  • I tried setting a different movie as the background movie.
  • In the editor: the original movie still played (not expected)
  • In the deployment: the different movie played without an error (expected)

This now leads me to believe that something between the editor and the deployment is trying to play two movies at the same time? Whatever's going on, I successfully got a workaround by making a copy of the title video and giving it a different name.

Oh that's interesting. I'm glad you found something that works. I'm curious though what the difference is between the two filenames if that did fix the problem. Could you show me the filenames and maybe a screenshot or two of your plugin parameters? That might help narrow down why you hit that problem and prevent others from hitting the same problem.

In the meantime I'll continue to try to get the plugin to fail where you had problems, but so far I've still had no luck. Whenever I deploy my test projects the deployed version works no problem. I've had some ideas of what could be causing the problem but being able to get it to fail and crash in the first place has been unproductive so far.

To add some info that might help - I've had players get this bug before, and have had it a few times myself. It seems to happen when the skip key (OK button) is pressed extremely quickly (like if you launch the game and mash OK repeatedly, especially on a slower device). It seems to be a problem with aborting playback before it even fully started, or something like that.

The files are just title.webm and titleb.webm.

However, a second bug occurred, in that loading the game would still play the title screen movie (although not visible, the audio would overlap).

I noticed that I had "Options and Load Game Video?" turned off, and the video doesn't show on the options and load game (but the video's audio still plays). I don't know if that's intended.

When I turned on "Options and Load Game Video?", the video shows on those screens, and it stops correctly. However, when I quit to title, there's 1 frame of the video at its last timeframe before it resets back to the beginning.

So that's another workaround to fix the issue. I'd rather the video not show on those screens, but at this point I'm just thankful it mostly works.
