I want my TV to show a moving image, not a static image. So I've got a quicktime movie and I load it into Texture Node. So far so good. Connect node to Texture Emission, connect that to Diffuse Material. Nothing. Plain white image. ?

I see from other posts that others are getting this to work. What's different for me? 'Cause I'm on Mac? I've tried different video formats, but the first one I tried was PNG image sequence, and someone else recently posted they used the same and it worked fine. I'm on 2015.2 with the second to last Octane plugin.

Okay, tested in Windows, not working. That's with most recent Octane plugin, 2015.2. Works fine with stills, just not Quicktime. Baffled.

Yeh I just tried a quick test of a movie on the diffuse channel and it just shows up white. Most likely is I'm doing it wrong.

But can Octane read a quicktime file? ... I don't think so. You should use a sequence of JPGs or PNGs files loaded as an animated texture in the Layout.

Golly, I've never done that before! I'll give it a try.

Yes, that works fine. I've just always used Quicktime. I've previously used lots of different features of the Image Editor, but I've never noticed that first simple drop-down menu, Image Type. Funny how you get blind to something!
