See original GitHub issue

🐛 Bug Report

After install this nugets to all my projects in my solution :

Plugin.MediaManager (0.9.7)
Plugin.MediaManager.Forms (0.9.7)

Initialise plugin:

Android : CrossMediaManager.Current.Init(this);
iOS : CrossMediaManager.Current.Init();

Added to info.plist on iOS so i can use http://

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
	<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInMedia</key>
	<true/>
</dict>

my xaml code is:

<ContentPage.Content>
        <StackLayout>
            <mm:VideoView
                BackgroundColor="Red"
                VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                VideoAspect="AspectFit"
                ShowControls="True"
                Source="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4"
                />
        </StackLayout>
    </ContentPage.Content>

@marsel-mo I ran into the same error and figured out it’s related to the “https://” I tried your video here: Doesn’t work: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4

Works: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4

I guess it has something to do with this:

If you are playing audio from a http resource you have to take care of ATS. Optionally you can disable this for playing media. Add the following to your info.plist:

Edit: Just so this post: https://github.com/Baseflow/XamarinMediaManager/issues/646#issuecomment-565744088 I seems to be an issue of the simulators…
