Playing Videos on Win32 (and on MAC OSX)

Solar2D Win32 Desktop

Hello!

After testing the new Corona features for Win32 i tried to check out with the demos how to play videos

within a win 32 (or MAC OSX APP) but as said native.newVideo and media.playVideo are only available on IOS and Android.

Thats ok, but is there another chance to play videos on Win32 Apps (or MAC OSX Apps), if yes, how can this be done with Corona?

thanks in advance

for video in webViews on Mac OS X

so as a current answer, there is no support for videos for win32 apps and Mac OSX Apps at the moment.

#4

No not yet.

I hope it will come soon, this is the only thing (well, I think…) that’s preventing me from releasing my game on PC / Mac OS :slight_smile:

We are voting up… it says that is under review… any update?

#8

It’s still under review. We don’t have an ETA on starting on it.

If you’ve not done so, you could give this a shot. I demo’d it a bit on Monday’s show, too (near the end).

At the moment I only really have playback, but adding a lot of the basic interface should go well. I started that thread in part because it would be great to have some real-world use to hone it.

(I’m keeping an eye on this project as well.)

It’s an important feature for PC / macOS games especially when you want to make a mid / big game. Hope you guys start working on it soon.

FYI, an updated has been posted on the Corona Feedback page :

macOS builds and the simulator on macOS now support this. The new webView updates on Windows Desktop builds and the simulator fully support HTML5 video.
