Need help to make a video app

Post by Aceven » Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:21 pm

Hi I am looking to make a video app on Xcode. I would like it to have a list of videos that can be updated daily with a new video. Does anyone know a good tutorial that I can use.

Hi Aceven,

1. welcome to the forum! :D

2.
...to make a video app on Xcode.
You know that this is an Livecode forum?
Xcode requires to programm in Obj.C (or whatever)

3. Your question is just too general! I don't think rthere is no tutorial for exactly that.
You will need to "split" you desire into small (and managable) tasks!
e.g.
How to display a video on the mobile platform
Ask yourself where the list of videos will come from?
Where and how to save that list on the users device?
etc...

Maybe start here: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4069
and then come back later with more specific questions.


Best

Klaus

Thanks for that info. What I'm trying to do exactly is let the app show a list of videos from a YouTube channel. So when every there is a new video uploaded it will also show it in the app.

YouTube defaults to HTML5 playback, so the best option for playing YT videos in LiveCode is to use the revBrowser external.

But if I understand your question, it's not so much about playing videos as retrieving a list of videos for a given channel. If that's correct, I believe you can create an RSS for your subscriptions in YT's "Manage Your Subscriptions" section of your account settings.

As a side note, it would be helpful if you could post something here which describes your interest in LiveCode. Thus far you've had only two posts here, neither mentions LiveCode, and both are similar in pattern to some of the automated messages we see from various bots. No offense intended, but I'm sure you appreciate the value of a well-moderated community, so any comment relevant to this forum would be helpful for the members here to decide how much time they might spend helping to satisfy your requests. Thanks for your understanding.
