How do I use Video plugin on mobile devices

Im also trying to get this to work but with no success. Is it even possible to have a video in a crosswalk built app? Or should i just give up?

I saw that you have managed to get it working. I've tried only using WebM format but it still does not work after export. It works when previewing on the computer. Have i missed something?

Im not sure about encoding. How can i see that? I've just tried converting the video to a bunch of different formats.

Oh, great. I'm also on my phone but I am going to check it out once I'm home. Let me know if you get it to work.

Any luck? I tried to convert to a bunch of formats with different codecs in VLC but just cant seem to get it to work. One wierd thing is that in the XDK emulator the video wont show. But, if I change the device to samsung galaxy S it works. Thinking if its because it probobly run on Android 2.3?

I don't know if this will help but here's some more information.

I built with Crosswalk 10, I've not tried it with 7 so I'm not sure if it works with that version and VLC Player tells me the video codec is VP8.

If you want to see it in action my app is at:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quiz90tv.nsgames

Click the green man on the menu, it'll take you to a layout with a promo video for another game I have.

Thank alot FredQ

that gave me some hope that at least its possible some way.

Have you tried the game FredQ liknked to? If that works then there should not be a device problem, right?

I'm about to give up. Someone please tell me what im doing wrong.

1. Convert video to WebM with VP8 codec through VLC.

2. Import the video to my construct 2 project under the files folder.

3. Add a Video plugin and type the filename in the video plugin properties under WebM file.

4. Export my project with cordova.

5. Build my app with Intel xdk, android crosswalk.

There must be something more you need to do since this obviously not work. Whould be very greatful for any help.

Have you gotten it to work? Or have you given up as well?

I have the same problem with my videos exported with XDK, strange because the video starts on the emulator but not in the device.

Ashley Ive seen my phone specs and it says it doesn't support HTML5, just HTML.

Can this be whats causing the problem for Me/Us?

Hello Dette Man,

Can you explain step by step how you operated the video in the APK ?.

I tested with the Intel XDK but the video doesn't work in the APP .
