videoview again

[AntonBrz]

Hello. I finished the first app and am in the process of making you tube movies and setting up a website for it. (user androidalchemy on YouTube, video Mama Vrs Adult Son) Now I need to write the next app and getting videoview to work would be a priority. I had problems before and now I think it was because I didn't address the directory correctly.

When writing this line here:
vv.LoadVideo(File.DirRootExternal, "somefile.mp4")

Assuming I have webstorage at (only an example) "www.webspace.com/user2000/myfiles" would I just put
vv.LoadVideo(www.webspace.com/user2000/myfiles, "somefile.mp4")
or should I pass the http as a string?

Thank you. I seem to be able to write the most complex things with b4a yet stumble on some issues to which the solution should be obvious

It should be:

vv.LoadVideo("http", "http://www.webspace.com/user2000/myfiles/somefile.mp4")

You should add the following line to the manifest editor:

AddPermission ("android.permission.INTERNET")

Video View - related, storage

A related question. Can you recommend a web storage service that can handle mp4s for videoview, that would be always on, internationally available and able to handle large amounts of data transfer if a lot of people were using an app at once?

Thank you
Anton

Consider using YouTube with the YouTube library.
