Platform Android.

Is it possible to open a video link with another program rather than the mobione video player the reason is the video i am trying to use is in a format that is not supported by the standard player it is support with mxplayer

would be ideal if user clicks on the link it opens with another app such as the mxplayer.

is there a javascript code that i can put in custom and it will tell the app to open all links with mxplayer player

if there is any other suggestion than please share it thanks

found this code on the net

Uri videoUri = Uri.parse( "rtsp://v5.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQnhycnrJQ8qmRMYESARFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYPj_hYjnq6uUTQw=/0/0/0/video.3gp" );
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.putExtra( EXTRA_DECODE_MODE, (byte)2 );
i.setPackage( "com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad" );
i.setClassName(  "com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad" , "com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad.ActivityScreen" );

can this be used?

Hi virtualmaster,

I am not familiar with a specific url schema that can be used to open the videoplayer. I will discuss it with the dev team for suggestions.

Hi virtualmaster,

the code you’re asking about is Java code targeted for android SDK. MobiOne apps are HTML5 apps that work inside Apache Cordova environment. So, you have two options

a) try

phoneui.showURL(url, "_blank")  / window.open(url, "_blank");

b) use our Viewer plugin to open an Intent registered for particular MIME type:

                
window.plugins.viewer.showFile(url, "MIME/type", 
  function(result) { /* ... */ }, 
  function(error) { /* ... */ });

Please consult media player’s documentation which mime type you should use in order to hit it’s Intent.
