iOS Video how-to or working example?

[smart_fr]

Hi all,
Has someone a step-by-step how-to to explain the use of iOS Video object to play a locally stored video? A video stored in the cloud? A streamed video?
Either it's tricky or I'm too silly to find out by myself: I systematically end up with an empty object playing nothing, in the MMF2 (Dev) simulator on the PC as well as in the Xcode simulator after transfer and build on the Mac.
A working example would also do it...
Thanks a lot in advance!

To insert the video file in the project, just do a simple drag&drop of the file in the resource folder of the XCode project. Then just enter the file name in the properties of the object (no path). The iOSVideo object only plays MP4 (and other files understood by iOS).
To play a file on the internet, just enter the URL (starting with HTTP://)

Just for the ones who are making the same mistake as i did: a youtube or vimeo link will of course not work. The video must be a direct link or something in that way. It sounds very simple but i think a lot of people make this "wrong thinking" mistake. So upload a video -> get a direct link -> link it to the ios video extension -> works great (with interface and everything)!

I have copied my video file in the xcode resource folder "test.mov". entered the name "test" in the video object properties. i got a blank screen .... no video

I haven't used the Video object yet, but have used extra files: It's not enough to just copy the file into resources, you need to add the file within XCode (File>Add Files to <Project name>). Also the filenames must match and are case sensitive, so try using "test.mov" in the video object properties

Thank you AyreGuitar ..... now it works
