Your python script should refer to the name of the MATERIAL you're using, not the image. For example, I named the material I was using on my plane (the one containing the movie texture) "invite": # -- Get the material that is using our texture matID = VideoTexture.materialID(obj, 'MAinvite') <---changed this This enabled the video to play at least the animation. Now my problem is, it's not playing the audio for some reason. My way around this was to trigger the audio and video as separate files, at the same time. This probably wouldn't work too well if you need to sync up audio & video close together. In my case I didn't need it so exact. If anyone out there in the internet void knows how to solve my problem, please let me know. Thanks.

Obviously people want to use their own video, but you don't mention how to do that--sort of an intrinsic part of this tutorial's purpose. I assume I replace your video and image names in the text with my own, which I've put in the same directory as the .blend file. I get that same message that other people are getting, which no one in two years has bothered to respond to. I also can't find anywhere what video file types blender is limited to...the original tutorial states "includes but not limited to..." etc. I created a video using blender and the only one that would actually produce a video with animation and sound was a quicktime .mov. I have xvid and other codecs but none of the other options worked...so can I use a .mov file for this? Who knows? Everything having to do with blender takes days and days and days to figure out, because a third of the time it doesn't work and there's no one to ask. (Try searching on blenderartists.org--the search engine sucks.) I am so tired of this! Why is it there’s always something missing from these tutorials?

So i can see animated textures on a plane while playing the the timeline - WITHOUT GameEngine??? Great!
