media.playVideo( url, media.RemoteSource, false, onComplete ) – this crashes
Corona’s various media API’s do not support streaming protocols. There are two types of streaming:
-
Start playing a fixed length file before you download/read the whole thing.
-
Start playing a media stream that has no end.
These are radically different things. Currently Corona’s various API’s that “stream” are of the #1 type. We do not support the 2nd type. If you would like us to, the best thing you can do is go to http://feedback.coronalabs.com and look to see if there is an existing feature request and vote for it. If there isn’t one start a new one and get people to vote on it.

Actually any kind of call to media.playVideo( url, media.RemoteSource, false, onComplete ) seems to crash, including mp4s and (fixed size) HLS files that work on iOS.
