Video Player Widget: Playing audio in native mobie app

0
Hi all, I need to play MP4 videos in a native mobile app. I tried the Video Player widget: It plays the video in web and also in the mobile app, but plays the audio only in web; whatever I tried in MakeItNative 10, it shows only the video, but quietly w/o audio. Is this a general limitation, do I need to request a permission first (but could not find anything that fits) or is it a limitation of the MakeItNative app? Any hints appreciated. Thanks in advance and best regards, Martin

Hi Martin Holle 

 

For Native mobile apps, there is limited support for playing audio along with video. If you want both video and audio playback, you will need to create your own custom widget because Mendix Native does not support many features that work on the web. So, for this requirement, building a custom widget is recommended.

 

I hope this will help you.

Hi Martin, in Mendix native apps, playing MP4 videos with audio can be limited by how the WebView handles media. Usually, no special permission is needed, but some versions of MakeItNative or hybrid wrappers may play video without sound.

 

Try adding a tap-to-play action, test on different devices, or consider a custom native video player for full audio support. 

 

Hope this helps! :)
