I've tried looking for a solution but I cannot find one everyone seems to be using online sources and no one actually shows how to use videos from the local folder.
I want to have a folder under Assets for Android and Resources for iOS called Videos and store all necessary videos there. I don't have a clue how to access them tho to add to my source for MideaElement from Xamarin Community Toolkit.
I found a solution for embedded images but it doesn't work the same for videos. YouTube Video
IDK if they need to be embedded or not, or can I just access them with a relative path of sort?
I've read the documentation for MediaElement and their local way of access videos but I do not understand it with thing like ms-appx:/// & ms-appdata:/// where do they point to? where do I put my own resources? how do I use that to access my own resource? So many questions but 0 answers.
This is the documentation on MediaElement.
Thanks in advance :)
The docs you link to explain exactly where to place the files on each platform
On iOS, media files must be stored in the Resources folder, or a subfolder of the Resources folder. The media file must have a Build Action of BundleResource.
On Android, media files must be stored in a subfolder of Resources named raw. The raw folder cannot contain subfolders. The media file must have a Build Action of AndroidResource.
