Android Plugin
This video plugin allows you to use the Android Player with a video plugin action (i.e. video:plugin:{URL}). It uses a generic launch action (i.e. system:tvx:launch) to select any system player. However, VLC or MX Player should be used for resume functions. The plugin can be used with version 0.1.136 or higher.
Usage[edit]
The plugin can be loaded with a video URL or ID. If a video ID is used, the interaction plugin is used to request the corresponding URL. Please see following action syntax examples.
video:plugin:http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/android.html?url={URL}video:plugin:http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/android.html?id={ID}
If you would like to use the plugin with Google Drive MSX, OneDrive MSX, or Dropbox MSX, please use the index.json file feature and reference all video and subtitle files with the inline expression {asset:id:{NAME}} (e.g. {asset:id:sintel.mp4}). For more information, please see Credits & Hints from the corresponding service.
Note: For Google Drive MSX, all referenced files must be publicly shared and smaller than 100 MB.
If you would like to use the plugin as reference to implement your own plugin, please have a look at this implementation script: http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/js/android.js.
