Is it possible to play a video using this?
I was messing around with this and was wondering if it would be possible to play a video using this by converting the video to base64 or something like that with a decoder in scratch and get at least 1fps? Even if it has to buffer the video into a list or something like that.
maybe convert the video into separate frames and encode each frame into a set of rgb vals and send them to scratch with cloud requests? if you send a 1 minute video with a res of 4:3 at 1fps, and each frame takes 1 sec to send, then it would take about a minute.
That's kind of what I was thinking, but the only problem with this is that there's a fairly short limit on how long of a string you can send
I have a picture renderer and sometimes the string length would get over 3000 chars, but it still went through, just an warning message in the python console
With a resolution of 50x50, at a FPS of 1, 50 seconds video would take 16 minutes to transmit.
With a lowwer resolution, base64 encoding and pixel compressing, you can very maybe get 5 min.
I heard someone got a browser working years ago, do you know if that actually show'd the page or if it was just basic html text?
That makes sense, I want to try to recreate it but only allow whitelisted sites/have content filtering.
One of the issues with sending images to Scratch is that almost all of them are corrupted. I mean, they get randomly cut off or with a weird offset in some rows.
Well, it is. You can send a 1 FPS video, like a slideshow.
If it was a 1hr video, that would be 3600 frames (60 secs * 60 mins)
