Did you change video links cause last time you asked your links worked only in webview

@Ayush_Jha , the problem is, app will not play directly Google drive link… it must need to download then only will play.

To test this make a simple block like, when button click make video to play using anyone video URL

If it plays your blocks are correct and you are getting same 701 then the mentioned URL is not returning video instead gives just an URL.

To overcome from the problems , you need to change slightly the URL as mentioned in this post

Change and try according to this.

The above extension provides that link and also tested as apk and autoplays using clock component with no errors

google_play_video.apk (5.2 MB)

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@dora_paz

The above extension provides that link

Ok, I just wanted to point out that it is basically also possible without an extension.
