Playing local video files, AIR on Android

Hi,

i want to play video files from local application folder on Android (2.3) using AIR 3.

Just a simple thing i thougt. But it does not work well.

The video only starts when it is completly loaded. And while loading the App freezes.

My first approach was using NetStream.

Then i tried Loader and NetStream.appendBytes

And i also tried FLV embedded into SWF.

All trying ends in the behavior described above.

So it is important for my app to play videos immediately. A Playlist for example. There should be no gap between the videos.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve the problem.

My next try will be an Native Extension that plays the video. Or perhaps "streams" the video via http.

I think this will work because i have seen a youttube player demo which plays the video well and start verry fast.

I am greatful for any tip.

Thanks,

Björn
