video streaming not working (and any platform dependant code)

[adityathiru]

• Has a lot of platform dependant code regarding video streaming, file opening etc.
• Need to verify if this issue exists on all platforms or just on macOS

[adityathiru]

• List out all the instances of platform dependant code.
• We can discuss what all needs to be fixed once that part is done, as we are moving to a web-based application.
