How to implement video intro skip button?

#1

Hi,

I have mp4 video intro to my game (Android). It will be played by media.playVideo().

Is it possible to give to user ‘Skip intro’ button, which will terminate (complete) video?

Cheers,

gud

The first test would be to see if you can place any sort of display object on top of the video.  I know with Corona’s native.newVideo this is not possible.  Not sure about media.playVideo.

#3

From media.playVideo docs: “on Android devices, the application will be suspended until the video playback is complete”.

Is there any workaround to give to user chance to stop video?

I have some video scenes in game, but user has to be able to skip it, even during video playback.

Doesn’t the player offer a Done button?
