Video On Mobile LC-Noob Question

[fgr33n]

Hi All, this is probably an easy LiveCode-Newbie question, but really bugging me.

The only way I've been able to get video to play on Android and IOS is by invoking the native mobile player via the mobileControl commands. I'm confused though, because in the language reference, the LiveCode Player Control's properties all have icons for IOS and Android, as well as the other OS's

So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if the LiveCode player just doesn't work on mobile. Thanks in advance... Fred G.

Hi Fred,

So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if the LiveCode player just doesn't work on mobile.

you are not doing anything wrong!

"player" OBJECTS are only available on the desktop, on mobile you need to create a "native" player with "mobilecontrolcreate".
Looks like the dictionary is a bit misleading here.


Best
