Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello all, What I am looking for is very simple, but I have yet to find a solution - hopefully someone here can help! I need a GreenSock savior! I am creating a public kiosk for an android tablet (HP Slate 17) using Flash CC-2014 Pro, and the screen saver is a short video. All I need the video to do is loop indefinitely (and reliably) when the screen is not in use. Seems simple enough! I first tried the built-in Flash Pro video player with FLV and H264 files - easy enough to implement, but after a few hours the video freezes. No good. I then read up on "StageVideo" and how it utilizes the GPU of the tablet which should improve the performance. Sounds promising, but I haven't had any luck getting a working example that loops... This non-looping tutorial works fine on iOS (an iPad 2), but I get no video at all when I switch to Android: http://01am.co.uk/blog/stagevideo-ios-air (*Note: You also don't see any video when testing the movie directly from Flash, but I understand that this is normal. You have to publish to the device to see it). I tried all of the samples posted here on the Android tablet - the video does play and loop some times, but more often than not the video does NOT loop after a few minutes (obviously no good either): http://greensock.com/forums/topic/6567-video-stop-between-loop/ Many of the other tutorials/examples out there are for Flex or Flash Builder and are not helping (I'm using Flash Pro). Here is a link to the non-looping version from the first link, but honestly I'm not sure if that's the best route or not. Is there a basic GreenSock StageVideo example or tutorial available? This will potentially make or break this project, so I appreciate any help! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sorry to hear of the troubles. Unfortunately, if the plain AS3 route is causing trouble its a good sign that VideoLoader isn't going to be able to fix it. It is unlikely that we are going to find a fix for this in a timely manner, and I don't have any examples to point you to that I know work. I wish I had better news for you.

Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi Carl, Thank you for the reply and info. So there is no basic Greensock method that uses StageVideo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Share Posted February 10, 2015 You can set a stageVideo property to true on your VideoLoader instance as explained here: http://greensock.com/asdocs/com/greensock/loading/VideoLoader.html#stageVideo But that's the only special hook we offer for stageVideo. Not sure that is going to solve your looping issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
