I would like to know if theres any way to open a webview with a stream flash video on fullscreen.
Right now ive the link of the page. This page has some stuff and a flash video. So i wonder if it would be posible to open the webview only with the stream video. In fullscreen or focused on it, without seing anything else. I mean, only the webview with the video, or the whole page, but with the view focused and zoomed so that i could just see the video.
Also, since there could get different kind of web pages, the video could come on different ways. But for now, would be enough to know if it would be posible to open it on fullscreen.
Thanks.
This may apply to the Android platform, but I think that for web-browser Flash Player - in order to go to full-screen, it requires a user action (like a button click) to initiate the transition. This means that the SWF cannot by itself initiate the transition.
I suspect that it applies to Android too. Are you writing and AIR app or a browser-based webpage.

I am using embedded YouTube videos in my React Native Expo application. The embedded videos are inside a WebView from react-native-webview. I am having a bit of a weird problem and I am not sure if it is on the YouTube side or React Native side of things.
When I try to click the play button on Android, I get the developer options on the YouTube video. The video does not play and I cannot "click out" of these options.
What the YouTube Embedded Video looks like inside the WebView when I press play
Even though I am clearly clicking in the center of the player on the play button, I get this menu. It seems like the Webview is either not responding well to user touch input or it thinks it is a longPress. I am not long pressing the video. When I strip my UI down to just the WebView taking up the entire screen, it works fine. On long press, I see this menu pop up. But clicking the play button everything works as expected.
It seems like once I reduce the size of the WebView (even though the YouTube player is not cut off or squished at all), it isn't responding properly. On iOS, everything is working fine.
Device Problem Occurs on
When I started to test on the Samsung Galaxy S7, I noticed this problem. Running the application on a Google Pixel 3 emulator appears to work as expected.
Here is the simple WebView with embedded YouTube video in it.
<WebView
allowsInlineMediaPlayback={true}
source={{ uri: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/WOi0vnzcEzA?playsinline=1&rel=0&mute=1autoplay=1&fs=0" }}
/>
Thanks
I ended up figuring out what was going on. I hope this may help someone in the future.
My WebView was wrapped inside a TouchableWithoutFeedback. For some reason (it is probably correct behavior but over my RN capabilities), it was "blocking" proper user input into the WebView. After I moved the WebView outside of the TouchableWithoutFeedback, everything worked as expected.
I'm developing an app with html, css and javascript which i port trough Phonegap to play on an Android tablet. (android 2.3.1 Gingerbread)
Everything is working fine, except the Youtube embed.
If i place the iframe embed on my page there is no play-button above my youtubescreen, so the user does not know he has to press it. But if you press it, the movie loads into the external android video playing app.
But here's the second problem; when the movie ends, the external android player closes and returns to my app, but then my youtube video screen is black en has these ugly android videocontrols of the external player.
But i can't do anything with it... so the user can't press the movie to watch it again.
Does anybody know how to implement a youtube video correctly into an HTML based android application?
It's HTML, so webviews, videoview, intents and things won't work...
Things i tried:
iframe embed
object embed
html5 video embed
online embed on external page
but in every attempt, those ugly videocontrols keep popping up after the video ended.
I also tried another player, but with the same result... Anyone ideas? :-)
I would like to play a HTML5 video back to the user directly in the native android video player.
My current setup takes way too much effort to get into the native video player: Currently I have a WebView with an embedded HTML5 video (such as a Youtube or Vimeo HTML5, not flash, embed). The user has to hit play on the video, and then hit the fullscreen button (on far right in the picture below)
Then it opens in the native player which looks like this:
The native player is a View is a much better experience for video playback. (I believe it is a VideoView? though maybe it is different in newer versions of Android. It is a View within my Activity so provides extra control. See this post for more info.)
I'm looking for a graceful way of directly launching into this experience instead of having to load the embed in a WebView and then leaving it to the user to tap the full screen button.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I am developing a web page that uses the HTML5 video tag. When I load the page in my ASUS eee pad transformer in the default browser I see a grey area with an icone in the middle instead of the video.
I then have to click in the video area for it to load and only then it is possible to play the video.
This only happens in the default browser. I have tried it on Chrome, Firefox and Opera and it always worked without me having to click the video area for it to load.
My question is. Why is this happening and is there anyway I can correct the issue?
I have tried using the atributes autobuffer and preload.
UPDATE:
I manage to make a workaround. I used Javascript on the page load and the video not only loads but also plays. So the problem where I would see a grey rectangle in which I would have to click to load the video is solved.
There's nothing you can do I'm afraid, the default Android browser is incredibly fiddly with HTML5 video and you're lucky that you can play it at all!
I am trying to design a video website compatible with Android. A good example of what I'm trying to achieve is vimeo.com. They show a thumbnail of a video. When you tap it, the native Android player comes up in full screen:
Currently, I have an anchor to an FLV containing an h.264 encoded video:
click here to watch
When you tap the anchor on Android, it downloads the video rather than plays it. That's not what I want. How do I get it to play full screen in the native player like Vimeo? But unlike Vimeo, I would like the video to expand so that there's not so much black empty space around the actual video.
Ahh I see what you mean, clicking a Vimeo video opens the Android dialog of selecting which app should respond to that request (in my case just the browser (which downloads the file) or video player (which opens and plays it as you wanted)). This is normal Android behavior- if you have not defined which app should respond to a given request, it will ask you to select from among the supporting applications.
Have you even tried embedding a video in the way suggested through the link I gave you? You may find that it will have the exact effect the Vimeo video does. HTML5 <video> element on Android
EDIT: Actually I think your real problem is probably just that the file format you're using (.flv) is not among the core media formats supported by Android. http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
if you have the correct codec installed to play the video and doesn't work, check and make sure you have the correct mime types configured and that something in the registry or a file isn't overwriting.
use the old standard of defining mp4 and falling back to flash.
In mobile Safari and Android webkit there are javascript methods and events defined on the Video object that can help with this. There is another StackOverflow question dealing with this topic (for iPad, but I have used this on Android phones as well).
