How do I request a videofile outside of the project.

Hi

currently i can define the videos in the object propertys and set other sources with events.

as i have a big number of videos which i plan to play with this app i would like to ask if there is any way to request external video sources. also those videos will be webm and mp4 and so on. but i dont want to include them into the project as this can get very big.

kind regards

You will probably have to integrate an outside JavaScript library into C2 as a JDK plugin.

Something like: http://www.videojs.com/

thanks for the suggestions

well that was not the answer i was hoping for haha is there realy no other way?

Yea, sorry, to my knowledge, something like this has not been done in Construct yet, but the JDK allows for all kinds of amazing things (mostly whatever amazing things the JavaScript community comes up with). You just have to look into creating your own plugin for Construct using that videojs.

There are lots of tutorials on creating plugins for Construct.

You can load videos into the video object source that are not included in C2 you don't need any plugin for that, you just have to set the source of video object to the file you want to play

ive tryed this: http://gyazo.com/353de52bafb04f8dcdc4663126242af7

(set the source to http://bytecrunch.org/games/video/big_buck_bunny.webm)

but it didnt work. so that doenst really make sence O_o do you mean the file has to be in the same folder?

Kind regards

No, doesn't have to be in the same folder you can just type in the url and it will play.

or do I misunderstand what you mean?

nimos100 thank you so much for pointing this out!!!

for some strange reason it doesnt work for me so far, so i thought this isn`t implemented... i will try again and hopefully i will find my error!

thanks again!

i finally got it. i have to upload the app first. it wont work if i start it locally... maybe something with my firewall or so.

thank you again! that really helped.

kind regards
