@a2z
did u try to use the included blend file wich u can download above?…
cuz if this won't work with your setup too theres maybe some bug or setting wrong,
and make sure u have 'activate true level triggering' (pulse mode) seected in the sensor panel
(like mentioned in ndnchief's post )

I found this tutorial last night. Finally I was able to get a video to play in the ge.
But when I tried to make it work with jaunty, it won't play.
I was thinking it may be a path problem for the movie. I've tried everything I could think of to no avail. I'm still quite new to linux too. So any counseling is always appreciated.
Thanks for the great tut for windows!
PS: more & more ppl are moving to linux. I can't hardly blame them. It's an awesome OS because it is cared for by a devoted community just like Blender!

OMG! The alt-z I needed to know, but I still could not get it to work. So I compared my file to the blend file offered. I did not have the "Activate TRUE level triggering (pulse mode)" button pressed on the sensor panel. Jeez, such a simple thing. I can do this by memory now after so many tries. LOL… Thanks to everyone for the responses…

i have something you could add to the tutorial. How does one use the different video sources listed in the wiki at blender.org. i am interested in using the videoForWindows capture source to stream from a webcam. i havent found any references on how to do it blender.

@ndnchief: thanks for pointing that out, that part does require a more elaborate description

@Nixon: that's right :)

@ndnchief
i think the drawtype mentioned in the tutorial is the viewport shading,
you can switch the drawtype there from wireframe, to solid, shaded and textured
u can switch thru em with z (wireframe/solid) shift -z(shaded) and alt-z (textured)

I might be wrong but thats what I understood on the line about being in object mode and drawtype is shaded.
If this is not the case…somebody pls. correct me ..since i didnt work thru the tutorial in blender yet but just read it.
