media.PlayVideo() flag bug

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Using Corona Game Edition I’m trying to play a video with the player’s UI controls hidden on the iPad. The controls still show when playing the video back and it seems the flag is ignored as I’ve tried setting it to both true and false and get the same result. Here is the code snippet with the argument showControls set to false:

display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar)

local onComplete = function(event)
print( “video session ended” )
end

media.playVideo(“sample_mpeg4.mp4”, false, onComplete)

Hey Tom,

has this been fixed already (for Android)?

I could need this functionality for a project on Android where my client wants to play back videos on certain touch actions…but of course the user shouldn’t be able to see the video controls while the sequence is played back.
