Video plugin doesn't work with NWJS

Hi! I made a simple project with some videos, and everything works fine in preview mode, but when i export it with NWJS all videos disappear, which doesn't make any sense. How can i fix that? :/

I had that issue recently. What I found is that I had to convert the videos to another filetype such as WebM. Because it seems nw.js didn't want to play the mp4 files I had.

Enable Proprietary Codecs

nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt

Unless you are aware of the legal ramifications and any necessary patent fees involved in distributing proprietary codecs, you should just transcode your video to an open format like WebM VP8 or VP9.

If you just take that build and distribute it without considering this, you could be hit with fines in future and be forced to make back-payments for every download of your game.

Prominent I converted one of the videos to webm, but it still doesnt work after compile. What software you used to convert the files?

Ashley Is that a bug? Why it doesn't work? I need to finish this project in two days.

What software you used to convert the files?

convert your video in .ogv from here

then import it into Files project, then edit with appropriate name the video plugin tab

NN81 I'll try it right now!

NN81 still nothing after exported, must be a problem with Construct 3. :/

are you using an updated version of nw.js?

NN81 in Construct 3 you just need to select "latest" and it will automatically use the latest version of NWJS.

understood. it download automatically the version you choose on that export option menu.

however i just tried to export a project in nw.js from C3 with a .ogv video and it works perfectly

Seriously? OMG, why i it doesn't work for me?

May you export my project for me if i send you the .c3p file?

yes if isn't too bigger, upload it and link me on a private message

It's a 100mb file, i thinks it's a okay size. I'll convert all the videos in the project and send to you. Adn thank you! You're saving my life!

100MB of project is too much for me, I should also upload it again.

did you convert videos to .ogv? make a screen of how you configured the plugin to start the video or make a reduced .capx to use as a test
