EachScape

Introduction

It is relatively easy to play video in apps.

Most of the time you can use the Video Block which ultimately uses the native player on your device.

In other cases you can also use the HTML Block to play video.

You can decide to:

• Stream a video,
• or have the video stored locally on device.

Streaming video can be a Live feed or VOD, from a technical standpoint these are fairly similar.

EachScape allows you to fully customize the video controls.

Last but not least, you can also play 360 video.

In either case you need to have the correct video format.

• In a SQL Database on device : The video is stored as a resource file for a SQL DB. That resource file is loaded on the device, no network connectivity required.

Video stored in the the Media Folder
You can easily upload video in the media folder.

Pros: Easy to upload & access.
Cont: The app cannot search through assets stored in the Media folder. It can only access the assets. To search or sort the asset they need to be stored in a SQL Database.

SYNTAX: 

                    In the Source field: Enter the name of your video exactly as it appears in the media folder.

                   In the Media Folder: Make sure to check  'Access by name'
