Greetings. I have an offline video that I would like to autoplay in the app/webapp. Ideally it would play within the window itself and not be full screen. How can I accomplish this? I would appreciate knowing how for both offline and online videos. Thanks in advance. ---

I am using the built in player screen. I also tried a blank screen with: # The video autoplay attribute Your browser does not support the video tag. ---

Hi Sheldon, Just confirming are you using the offline and online video components? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/fliplet/original/1X/92acb82c9d050b09ebb0fe192f7ffbbe90f83708.png) Thanks, Deb ---

Unfortunately our video component’s do not support inline video playback. You can use video HTML to achieve this. See example here: [What Does `playsinline` Mean in Web Video? | CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks](https://css-tricks.com/what-does-playsinline-mean-in-web-video/) ---

Hi. I already attempted to use HTML. With your website example: website: video autoplay loop muted playsinline src=“…”\> Fliplet modifies it to be: Which doesn’t play. Notice that the website example doesn’t render ---

If the video is in the apps root directory and called testvideo.mp4, what would be the src= ? ---

I was able to use the component to steal the public address but I do not think I should be using this address: [https://fliplet-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/apps/208779/oldfemaleswalking-411-350-8107.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWBATPFMGIX64A3Q%2F20240408%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4\_request&X-Amz-Date=20240408T155223Z&X-Amz-Expires=600&X-Amz-Signature=deac026fe6eacb0da20edb2d18e754eb58321f8651b54d1d58ab5104cc337e97&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host](https://fliplet-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/apps/208779/oldfemaleswalking-411-350-8107.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWBATPFMGIX64A3Q%2F20240408%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240408T155223Z&X-Amz-Expires=600&X-Amz-Signature=deac026fe6eacb0da20edb2d18e754eb58321f8651b54d1d58ab5104cc337e97&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host) What is the local address? ---

If the video doesn’t play it means the url is invalid. A few things to note: 1. You need to get the url of the file as seen by the file manager. You can get this from this api: [Media JS APIs | Fliplet Developers Documentation](https://developers.fliplet.com/API/fliplet-media.html#get-the-list-of-folders-and-files-for-your-organization-or-a-specific-app) 2. Once you have the url you will need to authenticate it the file so it can be played outside Fliplet studio. [Media JS APIs | Fliplet Developers Documentation](https://developers.fliplet.com/API/fliplet-media.html#authenticate-encrypted-files) 3. If you are on a mobile device and you want to download the play the file locally you can use this endpoint which will return the local/remote path depending on the device: [Media JS APIs | Fliplet Developers Documentation](https://developers.fliplet.com/API/fliplet-media.html#return-most-appropriate-url-to-a-file) 4. Once you have this working you can then test with the playsinline attribute and that should allow inline video playback. ---

Feels complicated. What is the best source/way to execute these functions to obtain the addresses? An online tool of some sort? I am not a programmer.
