Video not playing (wikitude sdk 1.1.1 + phonegap)
7 CommentsSorted by Oldest First
Hello,
I am using the latest version of your wikitude sdk 1.1.1 + phonegap
when I try to open a video I get error:
try
{
var url = "http://www.wikitude.com/doc/tutorial/Serie3.m4v";
// Start fullscreen playback of video at the supplied URL
AR.context.startVideoPlayer(url);
}
catch(e)
{
alert("Error loading the video: " + e.message);
}
I always get a "bad address" error.
it works fine with AR.context.openInBrowser(urlpage, true);
what am I doing wrong?
thank you.
Hello!
Could you provide me with more information about your project setup, especially are you deploying your phonegap app for Android or iOS and whether this problem exists when deploying for both platforms.
Thanks

Hello!
On the android platform a different component is used to display video. In order to use this component within you phonegap application, the following snippet needs to be integrated into your Android application manifest file:
<activity
android:name="com.wikitude.tools.activities.MediaPlayerActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar" >
</activity>
Hope that helps you with your problem

Hi Markus,
thank you for your solution, it worked fine on Android native.
Is it possible to achieve the same result using PhoneGap Build Service ?
https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml
Thank you,

Hi!
As the XML-snippet i provided is part of our native SDK and not the Phonegap Build service, unfortunately it is currently not possible to achieve this using PhoneGap's Build service. We are currently thinking about a facilitated usage of this functionality in an upcoming version of our PhoneGap plugin.
Thx
hi Marcus,
I am implementing a project for iPhone... using XCode, + PhoneGap + WikiTude DSK 1.1.1

The video isn't starting.
Do I need to set something on the *.plist file?
