Video on OpenFL4/HTML5 target

Help
#1

Hi, I’m using the standard openfl.media.Video on a project targeting HTML5. The new OpenFL 4 version changed from the canvas to the webgl output by default, but it seems the video object does not produce any output on webgl (when I play it, I just hear the sound). By switching back to the canvas (using html5 -Dcanvas), I get the video working as expected. Is this a real issue or we can expect the video to be shown on webgl?

NP. :slight_smile: Also you can use a video outsite canvas if needed (some tablet can’t play video inside canvas).

Maybe you can try render it in webGL using a Video as a Texture. But it’s probably easier to use Canvas.
