Trying to play a video with using mods folder asset will always result a black screen.

Please describe your issue. Provide extensive detail and images if possible.

We tried to put the mp4 video into all libraries and even tried to use getPath(), it just doesnt work if its in mods/mymod/ folder

If you're game is FROZEN and you're playing a web version, press F12 to open up browser dev window, and go to console, and copy-paste whatever red error you're getting

They do work, but for some reason I have to type whole directory like "mods/mymod/vids/videoName.mp4", because Paths. doesn't see that

FunkinCrew/hxCodec#5 fixes this, along with #2639 I think?

As a temporary solution, OpenFL Assets has a getPath() function that returns the full path of an asset. Import openfl.utils.Assets and modify the Video Cutscene code as such:

Assets.getPath(Paths.videos('myVideo')); (Note that Paths.videos() expects the MP4 to be in mods/My Mod/videos/videos.)

Looking at this issue now, I’m pretty sure this is a duplicate of #2446.
