HI, I tried this.

I have gone through many examples, apps on Video player etc. but all are either playing online (youtube) videos through player or recorded camera videos. I have not found any source where a list of videos to be played is formed, and videos played from that list only, when selected by some means.
The objective is

  1. Select videos to from a playlist or list. (lets Say, I have selected 10 videos from my phone through activity)
  2. play a video from a list (of 10 videos), (when 1 to 10 any number is selected)

THERE WAS ERROR TO UPLOAD MY BLOCKS. I WILL TRY AGAIN TO UPLOAD.

You might get an idea how to do it from the jukebox example found here

Just adjust it to your needs...

If you are asking for help, I recommend you to make it as easy for others to be able to help you ...
You probably will get more feedback then...

which means in your case post a screenshot of your relevant blocks...

To download the aia file, upload it to App Inventor, open it, do some bug hunting for you, etc... this takes time, and most people will not do that...
Thank you.

Does it make sense to have all movie files twice in the list?

Debug your blocks to find out, if the videoplayer source is a valid path to a movie... you might want to display it in a label...

Also why do you want to play only the 1st or 2nd movie and after completing the movie play the same movie again?

  1. Its a mistake, I am adding same files twice in the list.
  2. For testing purpose I added only two videos there. Once code is working, there will be number of videos and souce of video selection will be different.
    There is no other mistake in code?

19

For that I just want to create a list off all available videos in a folder. And then play one whos index is matching with my input number. How it can be done with short & smart code.
Pls help.

You have already been directed to the jukebox example on Taifun's website. Use this as a base to get a list of files to play.

Use a textbox and set it to numbers only
