Each platform supports different video/audio formats and codecs. This means that some videos/audios can be played with the standard player, others require a plugin, others do not work at all. To deal with this, the resolve action can be used, which has been developed to return a suitable format/codec depending on the current platform/player. This feature is available since version 0.1.107.

Note: The resolve action can also be used for images. Additionally, it can be used to generate temporary links or links with access tokens at runtime.

Please see following example.

Example[edit]

This example uses a web service and an interaction plugin to resolve the assets. For the interaction plugin, please have a look at this implementation script: https://msx.benzac.de/interaction/js/resolve.js.
