My app is also having the same problem, and I have redone the iOS/android packages last time. Is there any news here? This is a crucial thing for this app as the only thing it does it is play videos and audios :/

Hi guys,

Sorry about this 🙏 we're investigating the issue. It seems the video integration is causing issues from time to time. I'll let you know as soon as we fix it. Thank you

Hello again,

In fact, there was a new change on the library we use to get the YouTube videos, so we needed to make some changes as well.

We published a new version with the fix. Unfortunately, you'll need to generate the bundle again for iOS, as we needed to edit our codebase (we know it's an extra effort, sorry for that). Android seems to work fine, so it's not necessary to update the version there. The update will be included in the next Bravo Vision version as well.

As said above, we use a third-party library to implement the action:openvideo feature. This is causing some issues, and sometimes the component stops working due to some changes on how the communication with YT is performed. Not really our fault, but still causing the component to stop working.

We plan to release some documentation on the different options to integrate videos in the apps (both from YT and other sources). A more reliable option would be implementing a webview component, including the YouTube video embed url (example: [component:web-view:https://www.youtube.com/embed/RPf28jaiU90\]). This could be bound to API data as well. As we use directly a webview with the embed URL (no third-party libraries involved), this would cause less issues. The downside is not being able to integrate the video as an action (like with action:openvideo), bound to any UI element. The video would appear as a webview in the app screen, with the option to open it on the video player by clicking on the "full screen" icon.

Sorry again for the inconveniences!

Cheers
