ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE(3)

💖 ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this is an Allegro 5 API page from the Library Functions Manual — literally the enum that tells you which video position you’re asking for. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE — Allegro 5 API.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE;

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This enum is used with al_get_video_position(3) to specify which position to retrieve. If these get out of sync, audio and video may be out of sync in the display of the video. 👀

• ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_ACTUAL — The amount of time the video has been playing. If the video has audio, then this value can be ahead of ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_VIDEO_DECODE when video decoding lags. 🎬
• ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_VIDEO_DECODE — The amount of video that has been decoded. This may lag behind the “actual” and audio positions if decoding is slower than realtime. 😭
• ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_AUDIO_DECODE — The amount of audio that has been decoded. This may be the same as ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_ACTUAL if audio decode is driving the position, which is common to keep audio and video in sync. 🔊
