🎬 ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FRAME_SHOW 🎬

Once you receive this event, you can draw the current frame (as returned by al_get_video_frame(3)). And here's the key detail, bestie: al_get_video_frame(3) will continue returning the same frame until the next ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FRAME_SHOW is sent. No cap. 💅

🦋 ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_FINISHED 🦋

This event is sent when the video is finished — credits rolling, vibe complete 🍓. Depending on the backend, it may be possible to seek to an earlier part of the video and set the video to play to resume playback. So like, backend-dependent, iykyk.
