How do I play a video ...

[conde]

Why does the script in this Livecode lesson not work?

LS 5.5.3, SDKs: 5.1, 6.0, Simulator 5.1, 6.0

Hi conde,

what exactly does not work?
Could you please post your script(s), guessing is not an option

Hallo Klaus,

the enclosed stack downloadable iOSNativeVideoLesson.zip is not working. It does not open in the simulator.

But opens in the IDE?

Conde...

The video lesson stack does work, I have just downloaded it and tried it... however, I can only get it to run in the 5.1 simulator ...

be well

But opens in the IDE?

Yes with an error in card 1002, line 3

Yes - only in 5.1 but the video does not appear. Only Loading ...

Conde...

I get no error. .. It loads, it runs.. I do admit that the loading takes longer than I remember it doing when I first ran this with, I think liveCode 4.6.4. I am running Mountain Lion, liveCode 5.5.3 and xCode 4.5.2 on a MacBook Pro

be well

Ah, yes, loaded the stack and took a look.

Unfortunately most of the Livecode examples lack a lot of basics (not to say they suck ), like these lines in an "iOS" stack:

Code: Select all

on opencard
   if the environment <> "mobile" then
      exit opencard
   end if
## special iOS stuff here like: iPhonecontrolThisAndThat...

Without these lines this will throw an error in the IDE, big fun!

Thanks Klaus,
now it works in IDE. But in Simulator 5.1 I see no video and in 6.0 the app crashes.

Is it true that there is no workaround to play a video with player control in 6.0 ? I'm trying since yesterday, nothing works.

[Klaus]

Hi conde,

sorry, no idea!
I do not have any mobile license nor do I develop for mobile.

The video won't play in the IDE using the supplied script, as you can't use iOS controls in the IDE !
The video plays in the 5.1 simulator
The video does not play in the 6.0 simulator
The stack runs on a device, if you create the standalone, running iOS 6.0.1

Okay Dixie - thanks. It’s clear as daylight.
