Xamarin Formo & vimeo video

[mkgitalia]

I follow your instractions and works perfect with "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4", but when I try to use vimeo video (for example "https://vimeo.com/370732261") nothing happens.
I tried also
var libVLC = new LibVLC();
var media = new Media(libVLC, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foyufD52aog", FromType.FromLocation);
await media.Parse(MediaParseOptions.ParseNetwork);
var MediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media.SubItems.First());
MediaPlayer.Play();
with same black screen.
Can you help me?

Open the video file, not some HTML.

I do not know what you mean

He means that https://vimeo.com/370732261 points to a webpage, not the video itself, so it cannot work.

How I can do to play a Vimeo video ? What is the correct URL ?

For Vimeo videos, it seems you need to parse an additional layer of subitems. Try this:

Code: Select all

static async Task Main(string[] args) { Core.Initialize(); using(var libVLC = new LibVLC()) { var media = new Media(libVLC, "https://vimeo.com/370732261", FromType.FromLocation); await media.Parse(MediaParseOptions.ParseNetwork); var subItem = media.SubItems.First(); await subItem.Parse(MediaParseOptions.ParseNetwork); var actualVideo = subItem.SubItems.First(); using (var mp = new MediaPlayer(actualVideo)) { media.Dispose(); subItem.Dispose(); actualVideo.Dispose(); mp.Play(); Console.ReadKey(); } } }
