I'm really new here so please bare with me. From what I can tell there is no native support for video. There was mention of Hotwax plugin doing it only for IOS.
Is there any roadmap that would include video for IOS & Android?
Just seems kind of like a huge feature not to have, I'm not talking about streaming video (that would be cool as well), but local video included with the app for cut scenes etc.

But there is one other opportunity right now, as gideros has been awarded a national R&D resarching fund in the new year, roadmap can change easilly with the new HR:D
Of course this information is constructed of my wishes only there is no official announcemnet yet:D (i mean roadmap change)

Currently the best way to integrate Video in Gideros for iOS is via the Wax Plug-in. There is nothing that provides simple access to adding Video on the Android.
The R&D, money, grant all of that is irrelevant to the fact that there is no native support for video. This could change but cannot say for certain.
