Hi Folk,

I´ve just build an App, which shows a website. Now I wan´t to play some videos included in the Website via html5´s video tag, but everything I get is the sound from the video, but no pictures...


Is there any other way to implement the videos via Webviewer in appinventor 2? Im really thankful for every single helping line you write 2 me =)

Thank you for your advice Taifun,

but please can we discuss this? Not possible is a static answer, I mean we have web 2.0 - there have to be a way how to run videos in app inventor´s webviewer... anyone know´s why it don´t run videos? Is AppInventor´s webviewer no flashfriendly? Or what´s the issue?

Thanks!

the webviewer is no full browser and therefore can't play videos
