Hello I have problem with streaming video in the newest allegro 5.

I have:

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_acodec.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>

int main(){

al_install_audio();
al_init_acodec_addon();
al_init_video_addon();

ALLEGRO_VIDEO *splash_vid = al_open_video("vid.ogv");
ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer = al_create_mixer(44100, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2);

al_start_video(splash_vid, mixer);

al_close_video(splash_vid);
al_destroy_mixer(mixer);
return 0;
}

but after launch I have only black screen which can't be closed.
Can u help me solve this problem?

Now I have something like that and I created display earlier, in main fucntion:

void splash_screen(void)
{
ALLEGRO_VIDEO *splash_vid = al_open_video("vid.ogv");
ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer = al_create_mixer(44100, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2);

al_set_new_bitmap_flags(ALLEGRO_VIDEO_BITMAP);
ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap = al_create_bitmap(al_get_video_scaled_width(splash_vid), al_get_video_scaled_height(splash_vid));

al_start_video(splash_vid, mixer);

std::cout << al_is_video_playing(splash_vid);

ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *vid_event_queue = al_create_event_queue();

al_register_event_source(vid_event_queue, al_get_video_event_source(splash_vid));

bool done = false;
while (!done)
{
ALLEGRO_EVENT vid_ev;
al_wait_for_event(vid_event_queue, &vid_ev);
switch (vid_ev.type)
{
case ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FRAME_SHOW:
bitmap = al_get_video_frame(splash_vid);
al_draw_bitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 0);
al_flip_display();
//std::cout << _LINE_ << ' ' << _FILE_ << std::endl;
al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(0, 0, 0));
break;
case ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FINISHED:
done = true;
break;
}
}

al_destroy_event_queue(vid_event_queue);
al_close_video(splash_vid);
al_destroy_mixer(mixer);
}

and still I have black screen.

Still it doesn't work :/
I can't event gets this events because this lines not executes

Ok, so this is my main function:

#include "All_headers.h"

ALLEGRO_TIMER *fps_timer = NULL;
ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display = NULL;
int width = 640;
int height = 480;
int fps = 60;

int main(void)
{
//allegro variables
if (!al_init()) // test allegro
al_show_native_message_box(display, "Arcade Jump", "Error", "Error", "Error with allegro", ALLEGRO_MESSAGEBOX_WARN);

al_set_new_display_flags(ALLEGRO_WINDOWED | ALLEGRO_RESIZABLE);
display = al_create_display(width, height);
al_set_window_title(display, "Arcade Jump");
al_hide_mouse_cursor(display);

if (!display) //test display
al_show_native_message_box(display, "Arcade Jump", "Error", "Error", "Error with display", ALLEGRO_MESSAGEBOX_WARN);

fps_timer = al_create_timer(1.0 / fps);
al_start_timer(fps_timer);

//addon init
al_install_audio();
al_init_acodec_addon();
al_init_video_addon();
al_install_keyboard();
al_init_primitives_addon();
al_init_image_addon();

splash_screen();
menu();

// destroying globall variables
al_destroy_display(display);
al_destroy_timer(fps_timer);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Splash function:

#include "All_headers.h"

void splash_screen(void)
{
ALLEGRO_VIDEO *splash_vid = al_open_video("vid.ogv");
ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer = al_create_mixer(44100, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2);

al_set_new_bitmap_flags(ALLEGRO_VIDEO_BITMAP);
ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap;

std::cout << al_is_video_playing(splash_vid);

ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *vid_event_queue = al_create_event_queue();

al_register_event_source(vid_event_queue, al_get_video_event_source(splash_vid));

al_start_video(splash_vid, mixer);

bool done = false;
while (!done)
{
ALLEGRO_EVENT vid_ev;
al_wait_for_event(vid_event_queue, &vid_ev);
if (vid_ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FRAME_SHOW)
{
bitmap = al_get_video_frame(splash_vid);
al_draw_bitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 0);
al_flip_display();
std::cout << _LINE_ << ' ' << _FILE_ << std::endl;
al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(0, 0, 0));
}
else if (vid_ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FINISHED)
{
done = true;
break;
}
std::cout << _LINE_ << ' ' << _FILE_ << std::endl;
}

al_destroy_event_queue(vid_event_queue);
al_close_video(splash_vid);
al_destroy_mixer(mixer);
}

and headers:

extern ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display;

video file:

Still no working, I can't figure why.
My event queue is all the time empty.

So if you know, could you tell me which video format I can use ?

I have Allegro 5.2.1.1 and I downloaded it from NuGet packages using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise

EDIT

How can I use ex_video?

Still don't know how to play video but I solved my problem. I rendered my video frame by frame in images and I am drawing them sequentially. Thanks for help and have a nice day

Yes.
