Hmmm… we created an iPad app that uses a video as an intro between the splash screen and the main menu. It plays full screen of course. But, when you tap it, the player controls come up and you can touch Done and it will go right to the menu.
Have you tried building to device and then touching it during play?

bktv: Thanks for pointing that out - that has a huge bearing on my project.
Scratch my previous post! I had only tried the simulator which I assumed worked just like the hardware (not true - it doesn’t have a “done” button)

Life would be so much easier if i could play video files in my projects. Any ETA on this? Or is this not included in roadmap for now? [import]uid: 96906 topic_id: 7555 reply_id: 74255[/import]

Sorry this thread slipped my report. I will forward this onto the team right now [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 7555 reply_id: 76500[/import]
Any news on this? [import]uid: 109385 topic_id: 7555 reply_id: 77575[/import]
Yes, here’s a quick update:
We plan on offering a native display object for video (hopefully this month). Initially, it will be iOS. Followed by Mac (simulator) and Android (assuming we don’t find any gotchas). The limitation is that this is a native object, so it’s got the same limits as text fields and web views.
Later, we plan on offering a true video display object that lives in the OpenGL stack. This would enable augmented reality use cases. This will be available for iOS. Android will have to wait, as Android 4.0 will be the first version of Android where (hopefully) there aren’t any remaining gotchas with their graphics stack.

@walter - thank you so much for the update. We also need this for a trailer/video cut of our game. Can you please update this thread as the new feature moves forward?

Hi guys, sorry for bringing this thread back to life but id anything ever happen with this? Is there a solution now? [import]uid: 7475 topic_id: 7555 reply_id: 85723[/import]
It’s available to subscribers in the latest daily build (e.g. 741):

thx Walter, I needed to make sure it’s available 
[import]uid: 7475 topic_id: 7555 reply_id: 85727[/import]
Walter, quick question. This is able to do the “Cut Scenes” correct? Like we can show the video in full screen with no controls and the user can just tap the screen if they want to continue to the next scene (a menu) or wait for the video to end and auto load the menu?
Thanks,

can’t speak for w but i have not tried it. can you try? maybe put a display obj (rect) on top of video that you can tap on? and call proper function.

Hey Carlos, I don’t have the build because I’m not a subscriber YET but I want to make sure as the game I’m about to make will require that. Even without the display obj on the top layer, does the video have full screen with no controls (pause, back, forth, sound) showing?
thanks,
Sid [import]uid: 7475 topic_id: 7555 reply_id: 85731[/import]
I am a little bit confused and can’t do any tests atm since I am also not a subscriber yet:
What means “system-defined directories”? Is it possible to play a video located in the app dir (that belong to the app) or just to play user videos or from a remote server only?

Just dedicated myself to Corona! Now I got to go out and buy me some android devices lol.
