Auto play movies in a container with FileMaker Go

Movie in go play using iOS controls , other option to achieve auto play is to export the movie to the temp folder and open it using a web viewer, this will auto play in go. You need 2 layouts though, one to access the container and one with the web viewer. A script trigger attached to the container can export the movie.

Cheers

Many thanks for this fantastic suggestion, Rupert. I can make this work fine in FM Pro but on Go the web viewer shows an error, "(WebKitErrorDomain error 101.)"

 

I'm guessing it's something to do with my file path. I've tried it with no domain and every combination of file:/ local:// I can think of, but no luck.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

I seem to have found the answer to my own question...

 

I renamed the video, while retaining it's original file extension, to just 'video.MOV' and it works! Not sure why that should be. Maybe because the original name had spaces in?

 

So for others benefit, the path should start, file://private/var/mobile/Containers/Application/BE.. etc
