Custom Video component

Cocos Creator
#1

The VideoPlayer component provided by Cocos Creator is a new layer above the game canvas, so other components (e.g. sprite, button) cannot display above the videoplayer. Is there any way to create a custom video component and render it on the canvas instead of a new layer so I can treat it like normal nodes?

Requirements:
an MP4 video url is given
able to put buttons on top of video
video is neither at the bottom or at the top

Bonus:
Zoom in to a particular area of the video but restrict the visible area to original size (if I can render it like other node maybe I can use mask to do this)

Did you find that component? Also very interested

You can go into the corresponding Video Player files for android or ios and disable/enable it. so other components will show above :slight_smile:

android:

Line: 231 (in your cocos engine files set this to false)

I am not aware of how to do this for ios, I apologize.
