Blizzard Removed Capability of Running Videos Ingame
I've just figured out that Blizzard removed somewhere along 3.x, the capability of "MovieFrame" to run videos in-game, besides the Blizzard ones. But cannot find any patch notes about it or any insight about the reasons for such change.
Basically, previously videos were ran by file-path, now they are run by an internal ID (which, of course, only lists Blizzard videos). Anyone knows when/why this happened, or how should I contact Blizzard to request a reverse of the change? |
They got rick rolled and figured they never want to be scarred like that again -thus they removed the ability to playback custom movies.
Jokes aside no one used it at all and I figure that's why it was removed -tough I agree a little sad. :( |
I'd ask in the addon forum at worldofwarcraft.com, see if you can find anyone else that used those functions and if they know if they just moved them or not.

Indeed, the problem is that the API changed from
:StartMovie(string, int) into :StartMovie(int, int) Where string was the path but now it's a ID pointing to a .dbc entry, hence can't play custom videos any longer. (The last int is still audio levels, 0-255 where 255 is highest volume available.) |

Just fyi, the answer is "no".

A little clarification - High Roller didn't cause it.
The cinematic system was changing to where more meta-data was required. Just a filename wasn't enough. Thus, the ID system. |
