Sarthak

Hello,

I want to play video inside my game,before starting the level. So please let me know how can i achieve this.

I have followed http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/1228/video-player-plugin#Item_14 , but not able to download that plugins, because of link has been expired.

I have also tried to follow media plugin , but can't understand how to play video from project.

So please let me know, do i need to use any plugin for the same?, if yes then please let me know.

Note : I want it for ios & android both.

Thank you.

@ar2rsawseen Thank you very much.

i am facing some issues,
- It is not running in my mac, i got error which is in screenshot. I have copied whole Media folder inside Application/Gideros Studio/All Plugins, still not working, so please help me.
- My video resolution is 768*1136 with MPEG.4 format. It is running smoothly in tab,but not working in my phone which has resolution 320*480.So i think it could be format problem, so please let me know which is the suitable for all devices, if its not format related problem, then please tell whats wrong.
- Video length is 10 secs, while playing video in my tab, if i touch on the screen, video is automatically completed, i want to disable this thing. I want that user has to finish video,it wont be completed by taping on the screen.

So, Please give some reference about how can i solve all the issues those are listed above.

@Sarthak sorry, yes the plugin needs to be rebuild for QT5 on desktops, I did not yet have time to get to it
But it should work on devices (android/ios) try creating a Gideros player with this plugin preinstalled.

About file format, I really don't know, for now all mp4 files I tried seemed to be able to play.

Sarthak

Thank you for your help.

"if i touch on the screen, video is automatically completed, i want to disable this thing. I want that user has to finish video,it wont be completed by taping on the screen."
is there any way ? (I am using media plugin.)

ar2rsawseen

Sure, as per
https://github.com/gideros/giderosplugins/blob/master/Media/install.html

mediamanager:playVideo(path, force) -- play video file in given path (bool force to watch till the end, or quit playing on tap)

Sarthak

thanks a lot....
Heads off...

It's working perfectly in Android devices, but in iOS devices, it will crashed after the completion of video with error message : "exc_bad_access code=1 address=0x91756e9a".

I have also tried the Xocde project of reference which got with media plugins, in it i am having same issue.

The lua code for playing video is as below:

if application:getDeviceInfo() == "iOS" or application:getDeviceInfo() == "Android" then
--require plugin
require "media"
end

if application:getDeviceInfo() == "iOS" or application:getDeviceInfo() == "Android" then
mediamanager:addEventListener(Event.VIDEO_COMPLETE, function()

end)
end

And after that i have exported project from gideros, and then added the contents of plugins folder from Media/ios inside exported project.

i'm also trying to use media plugin (on win) and it crashes:
"The program can't start because mingwm10.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

@ar2rsawseen, perhaps the issue is that it still needs to be recompiled?
(i'm using 2014.10 version of gideros, btw, it does not find the dll's in the plugins directory, i need to put them in the root of the gideros installation folder)

can you make an update to the media plugins that works?
thanks
