Scene Element: Video

About

Displays a video from file or URI.

The playback state is maintained during rotation or hiding of the scene.

Parameters: Source

Determines where to acquire the content for the video.

A source which starts with a / or does not contain a : is treated as a local file path.

Anything else is treated as a URI.

Parameter: Start Automatically

If checked, whenever a new video is loaded it will begin play immediately. If not checked, the video must be started via the Element Video Control action.

Parameter: Loop

If checked, the video will start playing again from the start when the end is reached.

Parameter: Adapt To Fit

What to do when the video size does not exactly match the element size.

• Stretch
  The video is stretched (or shrunk) to fill the element, probably changing the aspect ratio in the process
• Scale
  The video is scaled up or down while maintaining the aspect ratio until it horizontally or vertically matches the element size. As a result, the video will not completely fill the element on the other side.
