Video display object

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
1

Please consider a capability to play video within a Corona app using part of the screen real estate – analogous to display.newImage(), display.newImageRect() and display.loadRemoteImage().

Key parameters / concerns
– is the video scaled, or windowed, to the defined rectangle?
– are controls shown in the rectangle, in a separate rectangle, or not at all (in which case events can be sent from elsewhere)
– other params as used in HTML5 Video tag, and Object tag for video

Anything other than popping out into the separate video player!

I second this request. Is there currently anything like this planned? [import]uid: 37065 topic_id: 7278 reply_id: 26790[/import]

I also vote for this request. Similar to HTML5 seems most logical implementation to me. [import]uid: 36191 topic_id: 7278 reply_id: 27694[/import]

While we wait, has anyone tried this with a web popup and actual HTML5? I’ve done this with cocos2d but the videos audio would knock out the games audio. Other than that it worked fine, so maybe there would be a way in Corona.
