When will Video Player support on Android

[Jedt3D]

I've just read the LiveCode Android 5.5.3 release note.

On the section "What doesn't work"
• videoclips/player functionality (planned for a future release)

But here on the page 36...

Video playback support
Basic support for playing videos has been added using a variant of the play command. A video file
can be played by using:

Code: Select all

play ( video-file | video-url )

The video will......blah blah

Then I've tried this on a button and deploy to an android phone. Not work..

( can't post the URL due to permission )

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  play "http___www_wowza_com/_h264/BigBuckBunny_115k.mov"
end mouseUp

So, this 5.5.3 can Play Video on Android or NOT ?

I can play video's on my Android, not sure if this includes online videos.

Code: Select all

  put "mnt/sdcard/Movies/my_vid.mp4" into docpath --local video
   mobileControlCreate "player"
   put the result into sPlayerId

   mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "visible", "true" 
   mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "rect", "0,0,320,460" -- maybe screenRect?
   mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "showController", "true"
   mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "filename", docpath

   mobileControlDo sPlayerId, "play"

That works.

Thank you very much. I am going to test it asap.

[Jedt3D]

Simon, thank you very much!
It's working properly on my device.
I just put all you code into on openCard event of the main stack. That's all.

Time to study mobileControl now..

What's still left to test is play from URL and embeded video.

Hi maulinarmananda,

can you give me the example?
I have tried before but still doesnt work

an example for what exactly?
There are some examples here on this page.
Did you check the dictionary for "mobilecontrolxxx"?

Maybe it is a good idea to NOT revive a 4 year old thread and start a new one.


Best

sorry, because this is my first time in this forum so I don't know how to throw up new question

my problem is, I want to build android app using livecode. everything is going well but my video on my app doesn't works.
video doesn't come up, so I can't play it. I put code in card where my player in. Is the problem is on my code or on my video format?
