I’d like to build a mobile app for my video project. There would be a gallery(main screen) with 4 options to choose from. Each of those options would be an in-app purchase for the content displayed within the picture frame. Think of the menu as a gallery wall with picture frames on it. Within the picture frames are video files that can be purchased. Each of those frames would have a folder hidden to the user that contains the content(hundreds of tiny video files.)
Once the user purchases the content, they can view the content seemlessly(not knowing it’s video a video player). So this is where the tricky part comes into play…
I want to build the app so it has a custom video player(maybe html5?).It’ll have chapters (no controls visible to the user). The player would need to be hidden from the user and preload the previous and next video chapter into memory so there isn’t any large moments of lag between chapters
The video player would play a playlist of prerendered video files. Each file ranges from 500k to 8meg depending on length.
The video player would need to be able to pause at the end of the “chapter” to display the last frame. The user would use gestures on the touch screen(swipe up and down) to proceed to the next chapter or previous chapter(maybe via coronacards?).
I have audio so that needs to be synced. There’s SFX that would not render on mobile devices as well. That’s why i’m in need of a video player opposed to having the mobile device render the files. I saw that corona (corona cards) has a overlay system that could allow the user to interact with any built app, like a video player without the user knowing it was a video. (Gesture up and down to navigate through the chapters)
I’d like it to be cross platform if possible! Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Joseph T.
