How do I insert a video object?

Hi!

I've a problem with inserting videos.

First I created the videos as thinktankintro.mp4. Then I've converted it to thinktankintro.webm, beacuse I read here, that webm causes not so much problems.

Then I uploaded it into the video folder of my project. (Later I tried also to place it into the files Folder).

Then I created the video object on the layout. (this layout is the first one. so the video should play automaticly after loading the layout!)

then Set the settings of the video object to autplay YES and WEBMSource to thinktankintro.webm

If I start the layout in different browsers it doesn't show the video. sometimes the game doesn't load.

What can be the issue?

Right-click Videos folder and import your videos.

In Video object properties set WebM Source= your video file name.

It should start playing automatically.

doesn't play :(

If i double click the video in the video folder it shows the preview.

But if i preview the layout it doesn't show anything. And sometimes the whole project crashes or doesn't load.

I've tried it with a new blank project now.

just a layout, the video object, the webm file and a text object that should change if the video is playing. nothing happens.

here's the capx: transferxl.com/08vtFzM9L9kS7y

I tried your project and it works for me, the video is playing.

How do you preview? Try pressing F12, check if there are any errors in browser console.

ah, okay :)

On firefox still doesn't work. On chrome it works!

But how can that be??

Check the console log for errors!
