RTMP can play in electron's development mode but cannot play in product mode

[HPDell]

Package versions are:

• nodejs: 8.14.0
• videojs: 7.3.0
• videojs-flash: ^2.1.2
• electron: v1.8.3

This is development mode:

This is production mode:

In production mode, console doesn't print any error log. So I cannot find what is wrong.

Are you specifying the pepper-flash plugin as outlined in electron's docs? I wonder if that's the difference between development and production modes.

[HPDell]

Yes. I did this. But it doesn't work. The author of nw-flash-trust said do not use this library with electrom. 😭

I sovled this issus by loading my content pages from a http server. Because in development mode, the content of electron app is loaded from a dev server, but it is loaded from disk via file:// protocol. I think this is the reason why video-js-swf doesn't work. So I put my contents on a server and fetch the with nginx.

I still want to seek a solution with out this http server. The document "using peper-flash pulgin in electron" is not detail enough.

Do you have some good solutions?

flash generally doesn't like being loaded over file://, a local webserver is definitely your best bet here.

[HPDell]

Thanks. But if I use electron in production mode, it's troublesome to upload the content pages to a server. I don't know how to load pages from electron's static resource via its own webserver in production mode. I tried to put the content pages in static directory but it didn't work.

Unfortunately, we don't really know much about how electron and flash work, you'll probably be better off asking on Stack Overflow or if electron has a help channel (like slack or gitter).

[HPDell]

OK. I will. Thank you very much.
