Playing Video On The Stage (Android and iOS)

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I would like to be able to play a video within an object on the stage - is this possible? Ideally I would like to overlay text.

Everything I’ve read about playing videos talks about opening in native players.

The camera feed, which I’d like to use also, is only available on iOS.

Is there a plugin or an API I’ve missed which allows to play local video in a rectangle like the camera feed?

Video is either done as a native object on top of your Corona app, or you mentioned the video fill for iOS. We cannot add this feature to Android. This is due to the architecture of our platform.

You might have some success using Corona Enterprise, to create video, which will still sit on top of your Corona App. But you could then draw your own native objects on top of your video.
