I work in the public utility industry so we have many job aid documents that walk our employees through the unique nature of operating or maintaining specific facilities/assets.
Right now, we are posting video help files on YouTube so that our techs can access the correct document at the correct time in a guided workflow app. The workflow app is dynamically pointing to the correct URL based upon which asset is selected in the current form using a lookup table in the workflow app. Some of these video files can be quite large, and connectivity in the field can be an issue, so if we had the video files stored on the local device, we would simply point the URL scheme to use the correct local file instead of pointing to the web file (the workflow app will function off-line). Since these would be standard video files loaded over all of our mobile devices, in theory it would work quite well.
I've been struggling to find a video player that would support a URL Callback method to play locally stored files for this reason for some years. Anything that you could do would be greatly appreciated!
