@bali001 yep sorry, it seems playing video is not available in Dekstops, I could not get the way around codec problems.

But it should work on IOS and Android for mp4 files.

bali001 · March 2014

@ar2rsawseen thanks

Unfortunately only iOS works for me, on Android(emulator and device) there is an error:
D/Gideros(27732): File does not exist
D/Gideros(27732): stack traceback:
D/Gideros(27732): ...assets/assets/main.lua.jet:116: in main chunk

main.lua:116 => local media = Media.new("ball.png")

ar2rsawseen · March 2014

hmm, is your file really ball.png and not ball.PNG for example, as Android file system is case sensitive.

Because I just tried the exported project and gideros player on Android and all seems to work, opening image files

@ar2rsawseen I just tried on gideros playeron on Android, but it didn't start:
main.lua:2: module 'media' not found:
no field package.preload['media']
no file './media.lua'
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/media.lua'
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/media/init.lua'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/media.lua'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/media/init.lua'
no file './media.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/media.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
stack traceback:
main.lua:2: in main chunk

Added ligmedia.so to project (as media.so), another error:
error loading module 'media' from file './media.so':
dynamic libraries not enabled; check your Lua installation

Did I forget something while install?

thanks and sorry for newbie questions

ar2rsawseen · March 2014

@bali001 the file should be named libgmedia.so
but in the activity you should put:

System.loadLibrary("gmedia");

and

"com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.media.GMedia",

bali001 · March 2014

@ar2rsawseen thanks!

The module error ("module 'media' not found") occurs when I try to run through Gideros Studio (with remote player on Android)

When I try to run it through Eclipse another error occurs (I mentioned earlier): it can't find file "ball.png"

I made some modification to the example lua file:

local bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("ball.png", false))

In this case there is no problem with "ball.png" (it displayed)

But the original doesn't work:

local media = Media.new("ball.png")
local bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(media:getPath(), true))

It seems that the Media.New() does not search the files in the same folder as where it was called
at least in my case

and it works on iOS... :-O

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

ok so there must be something with paths, althought they are on platform independed part of the code

So the problem is when not using as player but as exported app, right? will recheck that case

bali001 · April 2014

Yes, when using as exported app. Thanks

SinisterSoft · April 2014

Will the labs preview be updated now that @Atilim is back?

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

@SinisterSoft not sure if I want to talk to you about that on 1st of April

Especially, not sure if you want me to answer you on 1st of April, not after what you've done

@ar2rsawseen I modified /removed these lines in main.lua so it works on Android (as exported project) but when I select a picture from the gallery it crashes. Logcat:

/data/data/hu.progart.mediatest/files/20140402_061149_gideros.png: No such file or directory.
<img class="emoji" src="https://forum.gideros.rocks/resources/emoji/anguished.png" title="D:" alt="D:" height="20" />/Source/smartphone/gideros/_builds/Media/assets/assets/main.lua.jet:63: in function <D:/Source/smartphone/gideros/_builds/Media/assets/assets/main.lua.jet:25>
main.lua:63 => bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(media:getPath(), true))

I guess this is the same problem as above

And "Play Video" does nothing
I added a "print" to playVideo method in GMedia.java but no entry in logcat

Have you any idea?

Thanks

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

Yes true, something is different on Android app (not player)
I will debug more tomorrow

Basically problem is accessing files in |R| (Resource) directory and it seems to be something Android specific

Same way probably a video file can't be played, because it can't find it.

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

@bali001 I've fixed the issue, please try downloading it again from Gideros Labs

bali001 · April 2014

@ar2rsawseen Thx, works like a charm!

:beer:

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

Updated Gaming Interface:

version 0.5
IOS Fixed achievement caching
IOS Prevents submiting same achievement more than 1 time
Google Play fixed resolving connection bug

SinisterSoft · April 2014

@ar2rsawseen (were the android changes already done in a previous update, maybe today? - there were no file size changes).

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

@SinisterSoft yes, sorry for confusions

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

Updated Facebook plugin,
v0.5
fixed apprequests returning as canceled
and added returning request or post id as response parameter to dialog complete event

SinisterSoft · April 2014

On OSX I've added the media libs to the plugins folder and keep getting an error when trying to run the emulator with require('media')...

module 'media' not found:
no field package.preload['media'
.

.

Any ideas?

I would like to play a video file (but not in fullscreen). I created a plugin based on your media plugin and but I ran the same problem as above.
I've tried g_pathForFile in two different ways, but failed:

const char *originalPath = luaL_checkstring(L, 1);
originalPath = g_pathForFile(originalPath);
video_playVideo(originalPath)

and

const char *originalPath = luaL_checkstring(L, 1);
std::string path(g_pathForFile(originalPath));
video_playVideo(g_pathForFile(path.c_str()));

Please tell me how did you solve it? [-O<

/Off

ar2rsawseen · April 2014

Unfortunately this is the android limitation, that files can't be played form package.

The solution is simple, I copy them over to Documents |D| directory and then pass the g_pathForFile with "|D|" path inside

Thanks! You saved my hair, again!

SinisterSoft · April 2014

@ar2rsawseen: With the labs facebook plugin I'm grabbing a list of all friends with some extra fields to see if the have the app installed and what score they have (the normal scores just returns a list of top 20 scores). Facebook appears to be splitting the information into 'pages'. Using the plugin how do you cope with the pages?

here is the call:
facebook:get("/me/friends",{fields="id,name,installed,score"})

here is a sample of the data (a number or two has been changed to protect the innocent):

{.....loads of easy to figure table data then... ,"paging":{"next":"https:\/\/graph.facebook.com\/1268113038\/friends?fields=id,name,installed,score&format=json&access_token=CAxxxxxxxxxxxxxYAZDZD&limit=5000&offset=5000&__after_id=enc_Aexi8UJmuxxxxxx"}}

bali001 · May 2014

with the Media iOS plugin example app crashes after video stops (through Xcode, on iOS simulator)
I commented a line [self.Alayer release] from 'GMediaView stop' (GMediaClass.mm) method and it works

-(void)stop{
    if(self.Alayer != nil)
    {
        [self.Alayer removeFromSuperlayer];
        //[self.Alayer release];
        self.Alayer = nil;
    }
    if(self.player != nil){
        [self.player pause];
        [self.player release];
        self.player = nil;
    }
    if([self superview]!=nil)
    {
        [self removeFromSuperview];
    }
}

I couldn't test on device

I made a simple plugin based on your Media plugin which plays a video in a specific size. In this plugin I use your copyfile function (from iOS mediabinder.cpp) on Android but my test app randomly chrashes while playing a video.

hmm, probably I have updated something for Android, here's an Android version:

static bool file_exists(const char *filename)
{
	bool exists = false;
	G_FILE * pFile;
	pFile = g_fopen(filename,"r");
	if (pFile!=NULL)
	{
		exists = true;
		g_fclose(pFile);
	}
	return exists;
}
 
static std::string copyFile(std::string path){
    //check extenstion if should be copied
        //get file name
        const char *filename = strrchr(path.c_str(), '/');
        if(filename == NULL){
            filename = strrchr(path.c_str(), '\\');
            if(filename == NULL){
                filename = strrchr(path.c_str(), '|');
                if(filename == NULL){
                    filename = path.c_str();
                }
                else
                    filename++;
            }
            else
                filename++;
        }
        else
            filename++;
        std::string copyPath = std::string("|D|") + std::string(filename);
 
        //check maybe file exists already exists
        if(!file_exists(g_pathForFile(copyPath.c_str())))
        {
 
            G_FILE *filer = g_fopen(path.c_str(), "rb");
            G_FILE *filew = g_fopen(copyPath.c_str(),"wb");
 
            char buffer[100];
            int numr,numw;
            while(g_feof(filer)==0){
                if((numr=g_fread(buffer,1,100,filer))!=100){
                    if(g_ferror(filer)!=0){
                        g_fprintf(g_stderr,"read file error.\n");
                        exit(1);
                    }
                    else if(g_feof(filer)!=0);
                }
                if((numw=g_fwrite(buffer,1,numr,filew))!=numr){
                    g_fprintf(g_stderr,"write file error.\n");
                    exit(1);
                }
            }
            g_fclose(filer);
            g_fclose(filew);
        }
        return copyPath;
}

Thx! It seems my problem is with the original video path >:(, so I modified my plugin: if original file does not exist copyFile won't be called.
