Loading videos as audio files

[kreezii]

Thank you! I was getting crazy trying to load and play a video, I didn't know what was going wrong until I realised I was using pixi-sound library and that was the problem. As far as I could test it, your fix works without problems.

Thank you Stefan, you have saved me! I was having hard time to figure it out, but this works without problems.

Glad I could help! By the way, as this solution is a bit hackish, I rewrote it in typescript friendly manner. As far as I can tell from my tests it seems to work without any problems. Btw I know that extensions array and check is a bit of an overkill, but better safe then sorry :)

const VIDEO_EXTENSIONS: string[] = ['mp4'];
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
    for (const extension of VIDEO_EXTENSIONS) {
        const extensionIndex: number = PIXI.sound.utils.extensions.indexOf(extension);
        if (extensionIndex !== -1) {
            PIXI.sound.utils.extensions.splice(extensionIndex, 1);
            PIXI.loaders.Resource.setExtensionLoadType(extension, PIXI.loaders.Resource.LOAD_TYPE.VIDEO);
            PIXI.loaders.Resource.setExtensionXhrType(extension, PIXI.loaders.Resource.XHR_RESPONSE_TYPE.DEFAULT);
        }
    }
});

I will remove mp4 as an extension in the next version.
