Mplay Loader

[IIIROFLIII]

Hi All,

 

I have a little question about Mplay.

I want to make an HDA which can launch a sequence image file in Mplay.

Actually I use the subprocess.Popen(['mplay', 'path']) command.

But I want to configure this Mplay session (setting FPS and other things;)

But I don't understand how to do it.

I search in the documentation and internet, and I can't find a hou.something which can launch Mplay, maybe to have a connection between Mplay and the current houdini session.

 

Can you give me a basic structure of python code to do this kind of things?

 

Thanks

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(r"C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 18.0.391\bin\mplay.exe -f 1 100 1 -r 30 D:\Houdini\render\preview\v014\v014.$F.jpg")

you can use flags to configure mplay session like -f for frame range -r for fps etc, check out the docs for more info: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/mplay/mplay_options.html
