LC 5.5.1 and Video playback

[ctflatt]

I am in currently finishing up an iOS/Android app that, among other things, downloads .m4v files from a client server.

Video playback works as expected on iOS devices, but on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 the video controller appears and sound plays, but the video is nowhere to be seen.

Does anyone have any sage advice or input?

The cross-mobile-platform on this build has been AMAZING, but this glitch is proving a pain.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I did check, and according to sources, the Android OS is capable of playing .m4v files (which I believe since I'm getting the audio).

Thanks!

Hi, ctflatt

So, from your topic, can you play video on Android within the recent version of LiveCode (5.5.3)?

I can't do it but not sure it's code properly or not.

My topic just posted in Android forum. (Can't link there..)

sounds similar to the issue I have here:

I have an html object that is trying to play back embedded youtube videos. Works fine on IOS, but on android I get a black screen with audio. Most frustrating. Any work arounds?
