[gominoa]

i made it all the way up to me adding the video until i thought about if gominoa ever uploaded that 15sec loop of the fire place which was not so i went to the source & tried to download one when i noticed that any video file i played was playing @ 10x-15x faster (like its feeling in fastforward)
i also added the ffmpeg addon but that didnt work either

I updated this patch a couple days ago. Did you grab it before that? It's the 2 line change below or you can redownload/reapply.

The old code basically said it's ALWAYS time for a new frame. I'm on a Celeron 2957U 1.4GHz and it can only run at ~25ish frames per sec so I didn't notice the problem. What CPU you using? Also, PM me if you want the fireplace video.

Here's the relevant change:
