Video scripts problem ...

[StellariumSentinel]

Dear everyone! I need to launch an mp4 video on stellarium, using the script. I've been trying for hours without success. Can you tell me where I'm wrong? This is my script:

core.loadVideo("GalaxyVortex.mp4","../scripts/movies/GalaxyVortex.mp4",450,252,true,2.0);
core.playVideo(true);

I also tried with:

StelVideoMgr.loadVideo("GalaxyVortex.mp4","../scripts/movies/GalaxyVortex.mp4",450,252,true,2.0);
StelVideoMgr.playVideo(true);

... but nothing appears on the Stellarium monitor ...

Can you tell me where I'm wrong? Thank you so much!

	//! Load a video from a file.
	//! @param filename the name of the file to load, relative to the scripts directory.
	//! @param id the identifier which will be used to refer to the video
	//! when calling playVideo(), pauseVideo(), stopVideo(), dropVideo() etc.
	//! @param x  the x-coordinate (pixels from left) for the video frame.
	//! @param y  the y-coordinate (pixels from top) for the video frame.
	//! @param show  the visibility state for the video. (Optional since V0.15)
	//! You should load a video with show=true (or leave default), to start it immediately in native size.
	//! Else set show=false, and then call resizeVideo(), playVideo() or use playVideoPopout().
	//! @param alpha the initial alpha value of the video, defaults to 1.
	//! @bug With Qt5/V0.15+, alpha does not work properly (no semitransparency), only alpha=0 makes it invisible.
	//! @bug With Qt5/V0.15+, show=false causes an assert failure (crash) on Windows. The responsible assert is not fired on release builds.
	void loadVideo(const QString& filename, const QString& id, float x, float y, bool show=true, float alpha=1.0f);

	//! Play a video which has previously been loaded with loadVideo
	//! @param id the identifier used when loadVideo was called
	void playVideo(const QString& id, bool keepVisibleAtEnd=false);

from which follows

core.loadVideo("movies/GalaxyVortex.mp4","GalaxyVortex", 450,252,true,<some Alpha value between 0 and 1>);
core.playVideo("GalaxyVortex");

or simpler, for immediate play at native size,

core.loadVideo("movies/GalaxyVortex.mp4","GalaxyVortex", 450,252);
