Playing video on desktop app

Hi, I’ve been trying to find another technology to migrate from Adobe Air, OpenFL covers a lot of it but video on desktop is not supported and I’ve read that it is because of licenses but I can’t help but wonder about how QT does it and VLC does it, yet openFL can’t. Any idea?

We have some issues open here:

We also support Adobe AIR builds, are you migrating due to issues on the desktop, or need for Linux? Video support is doable, just requires more work. I think there’s an “openfl-webm” project that might work to some degree, though I’d prefer a formal approach: https://github.com/jgranick/extension-webm

We also support video in HTML5 builds, which could be packaged on desktop with node-webkit or other options
