Video does not seem to be working on the android client.
There is a square being displayed, but when I click it nothing happens.

The video is inserted via the
<video src=""> tag. Filetype=.mp4.

Hi,

 

Video on Android is not implemented, and I’m afraid it’s not very high on my TODO list at the moment…

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

And html5 video is not enabled in qt at the moment? Tried the exact same html code as in mnemosyne as in chorme. The video is loading in chrome, but in mnemosyne there is only a blank square.

Hi,

 

Qt is not being used on Android, Mnemosyne simply uses the default Android browser widget to display the html. I tried html5 video and audio tags a couple of years ago, but couldn’t get them to work reliably on all devices, so I switched to a different option where the sounds are played through the native Android sound system. Your experience seems to suggest that Android still doesn’t support the video tag unfortunately… The workaround would be to implement something similar as I did for sound, but that’s not really at the top of my todo list at the moment. All help welcome of course J

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

To try to make it work I tested it in mnemosyne windows with a javascript in the card that implemented a video tag in the html. I haven't tried it on android yet.
