movie15 package

Post by localghost »

Well, according to the movie15 manual (Section 5.1 - Media inclusion, p. 6 bottom) it should work also with paths so that it is not necessary to put the media file into the working directory.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Jip, I agree.

I asked someone to look at my code, and this was what he came up with...
my code: {home/danie/PhD/Thesis/contents/chapter2/scc.avi}

This will only work if you are in / (or one directory above 'home')

Safer will be {/home/danie/PhD/Thesis/contents/chapter2/scc.avi}
So the problem was the missing "/". I must still confirm that the movie will be inserted and is playing, and what happens to the movie file name.

Problem solved.
Thanks again for everybody's input.
