How big were your sprites if you don't mind me asking? Any cool info like that you can share would be great. Good job and good future to you!

    Thanks for Your opinion, button will be bigger i new update version of game. We all time working on game we take all suggestion in our hearts.

    Which sprites You mean?

    Awesome, but the buttons size isn't too big of a deal. I just have big hands haha... as for the sprites, like the player and enemies. Also any other elements in the game. Just trying to get a good idea of the size I'd need to make a game that looks this crisp on mobile.

  • I'm not aware of any bugs in the video plugin right now (other than the one we just fixed in the latest beta), so if you find any please report them as usual following all the guidelines. However video is a bit tricky due to the browser support situation:

    - generally Chrome can play any format, but Chromium (NW.js, Crosswalk) cannot play H.264 (because it's a patented format and Google only have a license for Chrome). VP8 should work. You have to encode these videos yourself, so make sure you get the encoder settings right.

    - iOS can only play H.264, not VP8, VP9 or Theora. You can add multiple sources to the video plugin and it will fall back as appropriate. So to guarantee playback on all platforms you need VP8 and H.264.

    - on mobile (both Chrome for Android and iOS Safari) you can only start media playback in a touch event. This applies to music as well. Construct 2 uses the same workaround for video as it does for music: if you try to play when you're not allowed to, it queues it up to be played in the next touch event when it will be allowed. However this means you must touch the screen at least once for there to be any chance that video can play. If you're just starting up the app and watching it, it won't be able to play until you touch it.

    Thanks, Ashley for the info. I have three encoded files that I bring in: mp4, webm, ogv. Even in the case of the encoded VP8 webm file, the audio from the video plays, not the video itself. There's a little black box of the video that pops up, but the actual visuals in it don't play when I test over LAN. You can only hear the audio and see a black box.

    I don't know how to attach a .capx file but I can leave this link to DL from my Drive account for someone to test and see if they get the same result as me. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9UIax ... sp=sharing I just saved the file as a capx.. not sure if it keeps the video in it when I share it..

  • If I would have bought this game on Nintendo or something back in the day, I would have thrown it against the wall with much rage

  • I'm Kris, from the States, and happy Ashley created Construct 2.

  • > Thanks for the info. That's pretty unfortunate. The reason I'm using video is because it would take a lot of sprites to create every single animation I have. Video is the only logical choice to make it less of a memory hog. When I play it on mobile via LAN or export out to it, it'll play the audio after touching the screen. I would think that if it's set to autoplay or having the system start it, it should just play.

    i just noticed in the r222 release they fixed the video bug with capitals! i'll test this later today.

    not really the "fix" we're looking for, but at least the video names will look cleaner with capitals back in them

    and as far as i know, you always need that first touch on mobile, i also managed to get audio but no video with a first touch (the video is in a seperate layout with autostart and events making sure it autostarts, and they work fine on the desktop or web versions.)

    i also used buttons to move the video to another layer, set it's size to max screen size, or original size, visibility, global, loading from another layout, went all over google.. oh, and different mp4 / webm converts, wth or without streaming option, different bitrate (1000-2500 tested) (VP9 converts crash on my end, so i can't try that yet) and i bet i missed a few more things, but basicly, no video at all. sometimes audio.

    i need the video's myself for pre-rendered animations, basicly any fullscreen animation that's too detailed or too heavy for C2 to handle.

    png sequences work fantastic but eat a lot of data. and they're all story-based, so i can't rely on the player to always have a stable connection.

    i'm not completely sure what the filesize limit are, what's IntelXDk's limit? Google / ios seem to have 2gb now? with the ability to download additional data.

    png sequences would still easily fit it these numbers are true.

    help? Ashley ?

    Right, I have the same experience. I hate that the video has to be touched in order to play. My game is an audio visualizer that needs to play to introduce the game, and then play different videos based on a random event. If the player has to touch the video first, it ruins the entire experience. When I test on mobile over Wi-FI or export, it doesn't even show the video at all.

    There has to be some way to call video to auto play regardless. My video is only 1,8mb, whereas a sprite sheet of the same animation is 120 frames long and is 27mb....and I have multiple animations that need to be played. No way to decrease the frames because it won't sync perfectly with the audio. Maybe I'll just have to redesign the entire thing.

    help? Ashley ? indeed

  • video has been a difficult thing since the start, couldn't get them to play on chrome and safari, sometimes played in firefox, other times not at all. not even audio.

    removing the .ogv AND renaming every video so they have NO capitals! worked for me to get the video's to play in the browser directly from website on Firefox, Chrome & Safari. latest versions, desktop. so that's something..

    however, mobile is a B&^$% and I've been coming back and forth to this video problem for months!

    the Project is getting in shape, all smooth 60fps on mobile but basic video won't play (and it HAS to be playable in offline mode!)

    if i find anything... i'll post right here. seems to be pretty up to date in here

  • I also can't get video to play automatically on mobile. It seems to load right up and play fine in NW.js, but not when I preview over LAN or export to mobile. On mobile, the audio plays, but only if I touch the screen first. But I want the video to play right away without any problem. I've imported the video as mp4, webm, and ogv but still nothing seems to work. If there's a direction anyone could point me in, that'd be great. It seems this is a problem all around.
