media.playVideo issues

Audio and Graphics
#1

Thanks in advance for any help on this…

I have an app for a client I’m almost done with, but I’m having issues on the video end of things. I can use the media.playVideo and it plays just fine, it even closes and disappears when done. The standard controls are enabled and work great. but for the life of me I can not find any documentation on how to stop and remove the video while it’s playing. 

Ideally I need a button that will close out the video and return to the video list. Am i stuck using the native video? And if so, how do I solve this for android? This app has to be cross platform.

native.newVideo is your best option since native.newVideo works on Android as well now.

Hi sptechnolab,

I’ve had some issues with playVideo as well. There are some sdk issues with the formats (wrapper/codec) being recorded by SDK. On iOS, the SDK seems to record .MOV files by default, which do not seem to play back on android.

It’s been a while since I looked at this, and I had written a bug report and made several forum posts as well… But no respomse. In my case the only way to get cross platform video was to go enterprise and re-output the video in obj-c as mpg4 so it would play on android :confused:

For you to dig into this deeper, I would strongly recommend you download “Gspot”, a video wrapper/codec analyzer tool. It will tell you
all about the formats recorded…
