I want to achieve the following.
<video src="file:///Users/username/folder/video.webm">
</video>
The intent is that the user will be able to select a file from his/her hard drive.
And the reason for not uploading is of course transmission costs and storage quota. There will be no reason to save the file.
Is it possible?
Best Answer
It is possible to play a local video file.
When a file is selected via the
input
element:input.files
FileListvideo.src
propertyLean back and watch :)
