I have searched for hours on this topic, and since there is no answer to the video widget problem to play video inside the same page not fullscreen, I have ended up using the html5 video tag.

The problem is that the emulator works fine and plays back the video, but when I create the app (android) it simply does nothing.

Version of Mobione: latest
Native app
tablet LG 7.5
Android vs: 4.4.2

Any help will be appreciated

Hi Domiciliaria,

The MobiOne video widget is not embeddable. You might investigate other player options such as use of the html5 <video> tag. But your mileage may vary based on the device and os version.

I am not trying to embed the video in the screen, but simply play it.

The videos used in the app are stored inside the app.

With your video widget, I can play de video in my tablet, but fullscreen and in a new window, and not within the screen I am designing.
I want the user to make it fullscreen only if he wants to, not mandatory.

I have used the html5 video tag and in the emulator works perfect, but when building the android app and installing in the device, the video does not play at all.

After lots of googling, it seems that Android does not allow playback of local videos (INSIDE the application) when using HTML5 video tag. (IOS does!). In order to playback a local video it has to be stored outside the app.

FOR HTML5 VIDEO TAG: Is there a way to do that, I mean, any instruction, command or whatever to tell the app to store the videos in a folder of the android system (let’s say “downloads”) when installing?

FOR VIDEO WIDGET: Is there a way to have the video widget not to play in fullscreen, and keep playing within the screen where the widget is inserted?

My customer is using android so there is no chance to build for IOS. AND THE APP HAS TO BE OFFLINE, no chance of internet connection.

Thanks for your answer
