How can I play videos in Fully?

If you only want to play a video playlist please check out our Fully Video Kiosk app.

There are also several ways to Play videos in Fully Kiosk Browser:

1. HTML5 videos – can be embedded in a webpage with the <video> tag and controlled from HTML. They support only a few video formats (depending on the WebView/Android version; usually, RTSP is not supported). These videos can autoplay with the Enable Autoplay option and may go fullscreen if the Enable Fullscreen Videos setting is on. Please note that Android Webview does not cache video files. You can use the Localhost File Access option to embed local video files in your website and save traffic.
2. Fully’s built-in video player – fullscreen only, the player can be started by opening the video URL (requires Play videos in Fully), with JS interface powerful function fully.playVideo() (requires Enable JavaScript Interface) or by REST API. Also the Screensaver Playlist and Fully Video Kiosk playlists use this player. The Video Player Engine is one of these:
   1. Android Media Player. This supports all Android media formats incl. many RTSP streams (depends on the Android version, media format/codec). Some video formats upscale to fullscreen, sometimes even with broken aspect ratio. This seems to be an Android Media Player bug with some Android versions
   2. Media3 Exoplayer (Android 7+ required). Supported formats include many DASH, HLS and RTSP streams.
3. Play fullscreen YouTube videos/playlists in Fully Kiosk (no controls) by opening the URL https://youtube/video/[videoId] or https://youtube/playlist/[playlistId] (ver. 1.57+). Some YouTube videos however are restricted by the video owner and can’t play in other apps.
4. External video player – depends on the external app, can support even more formats, see the FAQ for external app starting and restrictions
