[RESOLVED] media.playVideo not working with local file

Solar2D iOS
#1

I’m trying to play a video after it has been downloaded to the system.CachesDirectory with the following command:

media.playVideo( filename, system.CachesDirectory, true)

But the player starts and immediately quits.

A few things to note:

  • It works on Corona Simulator

  • It works on Android device

  • It works on iOS if I open the video directly with media.RemoteSourcespan

  • The problem is happening on iOS devices with version 6 or 7 and on iOS Simulator as well

I am using the latest daily build: 2013-1219.

What might be wrong?

Thanks,

Just found the solution!
 
It turns out you have to keep the file extension (in this case ‘.mp4’) to keep the player working.
