I added a "Notes" section to the wiki in newVideo and newVideoStream warning about this potential problem. I think Video and VideoStream pages would be a better fit for information about codecs, but supported codec are mentioned in the newVideo and newVideoStream, so I followed this conven...

My problem is solved, sure, but if there are some additional restrictions to the supported video format other than codec, shouldn't they be documented somewhere on the wiki? At least say "Love supports the same video formats as the backend X we are using" or "following flags are enabl...

It plays correctly in ffplay, VLC, Parole and Firefox embedded video player, if Love cannot handle it but all those programs can then that points to a bug.

Either way, removing all the flags from ffmpeg except for those required fixed the problem.

Hi, I tried to play a splash animation encoded in ogg and for some reason it will only play a few frames and stop. I thought it was only skipping the last frame, but after duplicating that frame, it still keeps getting stuck on frame #5. Please advise. Video creation: ffmpeg \ -framerate 10 \ -i $(F...

We don't claim this. love 12 is not going to be backwards-compatible with code written for love 11. Patch versions (e.g. love 11.4 to 11.5) generally are, but sometimes your game might rely on buggy or implementation-defined behaviour from a specific patch version as well. Funny, I found the topic ...

It doesn't rely on a random version of the runtime that the user would have installed; it specifies which runtime version is needed for a certain game package, and it would pull that version. Other thing to consider is that since the version 1.0.0, love is claimed to be backwards compatible. So the...

At the end of the file, zip files always have a directory followed by a footer. The footer indicates where to find the directory, relative to the end of the file, and the directory can also find the actual compressed files in the same way. So, you can append a zip file to any file, and the result w...

I mean you could also stuff the rest of löve in that sh too but that is just a weird form of an appimage. Sorry for double posting, I didn't fully parse that sentence. No, that's completely different. All that happens in my post is that Love executable ignores a piece of .love file that doesn't app...

If you just have a runnable .love file without also providing LÖVE itself as well, then you don't have something you can distribute on its own because it relies on the user having LÖVE installed separately themselves in a place where the 'love' command can run from anywhere. A typical way to distri...

Hi everyone, I've been playing around with self-extracting starting script (Linux) and discovered that if I append the .love file to a script like this: #!/bin/sh exec love "${0}" "$@" && exit # here goes the .love contents ... I can run a game just by running this script...
