Hi Dive, If everybody was able to figure out how to solve the problem they posted to this forum, it would indeed be filled with smart monologues ;-) Good to see that you've figured it out yourself, I was playing around with launching the webplayer myself some weeks ago and also found out that RTSP was the only way to go. Since I have no streaming server myself and had paid-for video content I ended up using the 3GP/MP4 download approach through the web-browser myself. Best regards, Ernst
ok (: solution: upload your video to youtube and get it via rtsp from m.youtube.com. work's great. nice monologue and nice victory (: have a nice day.
As I understand, com.samsung.webplayer can play only streaming video? Not .mp4 or 3gp? For now, how can I play .mp4 or .3gp from widget? If I try to openURL(link_to_video) it just starting the browser and try to download this file. Can I call player and play my static video from widget? Thanx for response.
Hi. Have a little trouble, I try to play video content from widget via Widget.Device.launchApplication('com.samsung.webplayer', playerUrl); but when player started I have an error "Internal Error". Any help? Thanx.
Hi Aperez, I share the same problem with you regarding the launchApplication ability. I have also put a remark about this in one of my previous posts, being able to launch native applications on the VF H1 is a blast, however without the ability to properly make use of them by using the proper launch parameters it's quite useless indeed. I hope somebody at Vodafone (or Samsung) can acknowledge this information-gap and give us a target date on when more extensive documentation on this topic will become available to the dev community. The second thing you remarked, being able to address the native application data (e.g. calendar entries) directly within a widget, is not possible. For this Vodafone needs to support more objects of the JIL API Specification. In case of a calendar event the following is currently documented by JIL yet unsupported by VF at this time: var event = new Widget.PIM.CalendarItem() Best regards, Ernst
Ernst_NL, thanks a lot for such a quick response, I really apprecciate it. After having looked at the API I can see that I can, for example, launch an application. Here's an example: // In the JIL emulator the calendar app is called "Calendar" // The second parameter is always required Widget.Device.launchApplication("Calendar", ""); With this line of code I can launch the "Calendar" application, nice, yes, really nice, but I want to be able to put an event in the calendar, or probably just launch the "Contacts" application and delete for example, one phone number... Is this possible ??? What values can I send in the second parameter as IT IS ALWAYS REQUIRED ??? I dont want to run the "Calendar" or "File Manager" application. I WANT TO USE IT UNDER THE HOOD, in my widget, be able to do things... Where can I find such information ? Thanks a lot..
Hi Aperez, You can find that information at the following location: http://jil.vodafone-developer.com/ And then more specific the following document: http://jil.vodafone-developer.com/downloads/pdf/Handset_API_Overview_for_Vodafone_360_Phones.pdf Enjoy developing Vodafone widgets!
