How to make video mesh play? about awe.js HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @HumberSean you can access the video texture and play/pause it using play_video_texture() and pause_video_texture(). Checkout the documentation in https://github.com/awe-media/awe.js/wiki/awe-objects#awe_mesh_object

Shout if you have any other questions about this.

Ah one other issue that's relevant - on mobile devices (e.g. Android and iOS) the browsers often require a user action to play any media. So any of your play() calls need to be called from within a user action (e.g. a click event).

Thank you for your response - and for noting the Android "gotcha". The element missing from the API is an example of how to put the pieces together. I can see the awe.pois etc for getters, and the methods to call (thank you for the stop method!), but not how to get the mesh and call play on the video texture.
I have tried:
var mypoi = awe.pois.view("mypoiID");
mypoi.play_video_texture();
...and...
var myprojection = awe.projections.view("myprojectionID");
myprojection .play_video_texture();
...and...
awe.textures.play_video_texture();
but it isn't working. I know the click event is working because I have a console message that shows up.
This is an amazingly exciting library with a tremendous amount of thought behind it. We just need a few examples in the API (without having to dig through the examples folder) to connect the dots.
I will be happy to share my working example once completed, as I know there are numerous people looking for this solution.
Many thanks again for your response and support!
