Longtail Video Issues

edited August 2013 in General Discussion
Working on an app I'm hoping to have released by mid-September.  One of the pages in the app is a "Gameday Countdown" that will play a local .mp4 video using the Longtail JW Player.  Everything works great except the video won't play within the app.  I can take the same HTML file and play it locally on my PC as well as on a test site online, but everything just hangs on the app itself.

The folks at Longtail have no answers since their player works on a website.  Any thoughts?  I'd be happy to email the .apk file for someone to see what I'm talking about.

    Anyone have any comments (or alternative methods of playing a local .mp4 file in an HTML archive activity)?

    I've tried playing both video and audio files locally using an HTML archive, to no avail. There was another thread that I created a little while back asking about HTML5 video playback using an HTML archive, and the consensus from the Andromo guys was that it cannot currently be done. I know that it's a bummer to hear this but I'm hoping that the guys here at Andromo will address this issue and make this possible.

    The only alternative that I can see at this point is to store your .mp4 file online and link to it from your app.

    Now if I am wrong, someone please correct me and let me know how you are getting local video or audio to work.

    Yeah, right now I'm just embedding YouTube videos in the meantime.  Was really hoping to run a locally stored .mp4 file instead (conserve bandwidth, not require a network connection, etc).

    Guess we'll just wait and hope this is fixed in an upcoming Andromo build. 
    :D
