Hi all,

I need to make player for a .m3u8(HLS) on android.

I have the following code without any success

mobileControlCreate "player", "HLSplayer" --create a player HLSplayer
mobileControlSet "HLSplayer", "visible", true
mobileControlSet "HLSplayer", "rect", the rect of fld"field" --adjust these settings to suit your screen real-estate
mobileControlSet "HLSplayer", "URL", "http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1 ... fg/sl.m3u8" --stream the HLS files
mobileControlSet "HLSplayer","showController", true
mobileControlDo "HLSplayer", "play"

under Application Standalone settings I have Hardware accelerated and Internet checked.

I bought livecode business thinking it was a super dupper software, please advice if I need to develop this player on android studio.

Thanks

JG

Hi Jose

You just have a small error in your code, you should be setting the filename property of the player rather that the URL property.

I tested it here and it seems to work.

I hope that helps.

Kind regards

Elanor
