-## Video Playback
-
-A trivial video player interface exists (no audio) through `GLMakie.jl`.
-Note: `GLMakie` must be imported first to enable playback functionality.
-
-```julia
-using GLMakie
-using VideoIO
-
-f = VideoIO.testvideo("annie_oakley")  # downloaded if not available
-VideoIO.playvideo(f)  # no sound
-```
-
-Customization of playback can be achieved by looking at the basic expanded version of this function:
-
-```julia
-import GLMakie
-import VideoIO
-
-#io = VideoIO.open(video_file)
-io = VideoIO.testvideo("annie_oakley") # for testing purposes
-f = VideoIO.openvideo(io)
-
-img = read(f)
-obs_img = GLMakie.Observable(GLMakie.rotr90(img))
-scene = GLMakie.Scene(camera=GLMakie.campixel!, resolution=reverse(size(img)))
-GLMakie.image!(scene, obs_img)
-
-display(scene)
-
-fps = VideoIO.framerate(f)
-while !eof(f) && GLMakie.isopen(scene)
-  img = read(f)
-  obs_img[] = GLMakie.rotr90(img)
-  sleep(1 / fps)
-end
-
-```
-This code is essentially the code in `playvideo`, and will read and
-(without the `sleep`) play a movie file as fast as possible.
