Cordova 5.3.3 - How to play local mp4 video

Question

I am having trouble playing a local mp4 video.

I've tried the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63139114&postcount=9 but it doesn't work.

I also have tried a couple of cordova plugins but they seem to work only for older version.

Currently I am using this code

<video id="action" controls>
                        <source src="file:///android_asset/www/videos/jospan.mp4" type="video/mp4">
                    </video>

Answer 1

You have to call the file from the folder inside the www bin about to the index.html file.

For example this taxo:

• www
  • index.html
  • videos
    • yourvideo.mp4
  • otherBins/

So you have to call the file from this bin on the source tag:

source src="videos/yourvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"

The video will be inside your app.

I hope this work for you! My best!
