Bug Report: Cutscenes outright not playing

[SoftieDev-oO]

What version of the engine are you using?

Version: 1.0.1

Which target are you using?

[ ] Windows
[x] Linux
[ ] Mac

Explain your issue

When loading a song that has a cutscene via songs/songname/cutscene.mp4 it just doesn't play and it skips right to the song as if there wasn't a cutscene to begin with. The script.hx is properly set up with the playCutscenes variable

Streamable showcase of the bug; mod used is Vs. Jemere

this is how its set up

Now that's interesting. How is the title screen loading the song, in that case?

[SoftieDev-oO]

@r6915ee this is what I was able to find

this is under data/states/JemereMenuState.hx

The issue is still present when loading songs normally thru freeplay though

The song is being loaded as if it were a freeplay song, then. Are you at least sure that you're using Codename v1.0.1, in that case? If it is v1.0.1, then what does the terminal show when starting Codename from there?

[SoftieDev-oO]

It is Codename 1.0.1, says "Failed to initialize the LibVLC instance"

I had this same error when trying to install psych engine and ultimately gave up

UPDATE: Just reinstalled every VLC package and that seemed to finally fix the issue

For anyone using a Debian/Ubuntu-based distro, here's what you need to fix this
sudo apt-get install vlc libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc-bin
