Please has anyone been able to use a video as a launch screen or splash screen on both OS and Android. I am trying to implement it on an app I am working on.

You would need some custom code for that.

Dusko is correct; there isn't anything like that just yet. But if you don't mind playing around with the code, what you want to do is essentially: 1) Make a Splash Screen Plugin use video OR 2) Make a Video Plugin into a Splash Screen If you want your own custom Video code, here is a bit of related info for iOS here: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/IOS_8_Video_Playback_using_AVPlayer_and_AVPlayerViewController and of course the official apple documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/AVFoundationPG/Articles/02_Playback.html Android examples here: http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/android-video-streaming-videoview-tutorial/ which should allow reading the file from pretty much anywhere. or, in a different direction, you could take a video plugin, and just change the parameters to make it a splash screen. Haven't heard from A-Train in a while, but his AT53 Video plugin 'might' be a candidate. But take it all with a grain of salt; I've never 'done' it, but that's where I'd start if I had to do it. Good Luck! Cheers! -- Smug

Thank you

Yup, good tips here. In essence every plugin is a UIViewController, which has a "View" property. The Splash Screen plugins are the same thing except they "remove themselves" after a certain period of time. This means you could have a look at the standard Splash screen plugin and see how it removes itself. Then, you could create a UIViewController (fragment for Android) that adds a video to the "view" so it displayed when the app launched. It would them remove itself after a pre-determined amount of time or after the user tapped something. NOTE: Videos tend to take a bit to display. A bit meaning a few seconds sometimes. The time they take to load depends mostly on how large the video is (file size) and where it's coming from. Don't try to load a video in a splash screen that's hosted online. You'll have some bogus results. It just takes to long and your app launch will hang. Add the video to the project so it loads from the apps bundle. Additionally, you'll want to make sure the video is reasonably "short" so it's file size doesn't get out of hand. Quick lanches is the gold standard, dont' let your video splash bog down the launch, users will complain :-)
