Using V 3.0 and using an URL for the mp4 file. On the simulator I get: "Cannot Play Video, there was a problem loading the video File or stream." Opening the URL with IE or FF works.

On IOS the plugin can find a local file on the project, but not one in a URL.

I tried putting this link into my browser: http://www.vtad.de/tutorials/livetradingroller/livetradingroller.mp4 and it's showing that the running time is about 3 1/2 hours. That's going to be a big file, and I suspect it's taking a long time to download into your app, and the plugin may be timing out before it finishes loading. Try using a smaller file in the testing phases. And you may wish to think about using a smaller filesize for the videos, or break it up into separate chapters, if that works. I think it's just a video player, and maybe not a video 'streamer', which is what you'll need for something of that size. You may want to talk to Atrain about the capabilities of the plugin; he's the author. I've used it with great success, but with much smaller video files. Cheers! -- Smug

Its 304MB big,is that too much?

Problem occurs also with a smaller video (46 MB), does AT53 support HD Videos (720p)?

Have you tried using a local file? I have the same problem, but only with URL files, local files work fine. At least on IOS.

I'd say a 300MB video file is very big, but it depends on what it is... If it's a movie, its expected to be big, right? But a file that size if you only host it on a URL, without having any video support, it will take ages to load, and will only start loading after it has been fully downloaded.

Thx for the Info, I think I will skip this part of my project (most of the videos are > 100MB)
