Hi!

I am developing an app. I have created sign-up and sign-in services which are working fine.

1) Where can I store some videos that can be assessed through the video control?

2) When a user signs in, I need him to be directed to a page which contains a video screen. When he clicks on the video screen, any video which he has the permission to view should start playing. How do I grant permission to certain signed-in users to view a video but not others?.
For example,
User_1 can view Video_12, but cannot view other videos.
User_2 can view Video_5, but cannot view other videos (you get the point)?

Please, give me a sense of how to approach the above 2 challenges.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can store video in Database: http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/uploa...
There are no access settings for a database file. Please create a database collection where you can store a file URL and a flag field showing if you can read being unregistered.

The tutorial which Katya referred me to above deals with image files. It does not work for retrieving uploaded video files.

• What request and response parameters can I use to retrieve a video file from the database?

• How do I map these parameters?

  Thanks.

Hello Doz!

Please check this doc http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...

Hi Alena,

I already tried retrieving it that way but it did not work. I suspect that my mapping may be faulty. I entered the database_id manually in the request.

For the session token, I mapped it from local storage to the request. Is there a problem with this?

Also let me know what to map in the response.

Thank you.

Is your project shared with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a?
Please share, tell its name and where to see the problem.

It is shared. App name is Cons-1. I created a REST service called user_video. I am trying to invoke it by clicking on the video screen on the startScreen page.

What video type do you use? Please specify it in Service setting, now you have only file name.

It is mp4. Currently, I have changed the video file to another one which has the extension .mp4. When I open the test page, I can hear the video playing but I cannot see anything. I need the video to play in the video window. How do I achieve this? Also, why does it start to play automatically even though I invoked the service on video icon click?
