Linking to You Tube

Hi, I'm trying to link a movie view to youtube. Is there a reason it isn't loading the movie file? Many thanks.

iOS or Android? Device or Simulator? buzztouch v1.4 or v1.5? Simulators on Android can't play videos so you'll need to test with Device only if Android Simulator for iOS can play video from a file but not YouTube (no YouTube app on the simulator)...

Sure...use a Custom URL screen then enter file name to the video. If it's a file you want to include in your Xcode project, drag it into the project then enter the name of the video. If it's online, enter the URL. The URL must point to the actual file (like, mysite.com/videos/home.mov) and not an HTML webpage with a 'player' of some sort.
