Adding videos to the project

[mparker11]

Has anyone ever tried adding a local video file to this project? I get a blank div even though the url is present in the dev tools, and that url is playable when pasting in a browser manually. I haven't changed any webpack files and I'm simply calling the video in my main App.js file like so:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { curious } from '@curi/react';
import AttractLoop from '../../assets/videos/video.mp4';

class App extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <div className="app-container">
                <div className="attract-loop">
                    <video width="1080" height="1920">
                        <source src={ AttractLoop } type="video/mp4" />
                    </video>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default curious(App);

NW.js does not support mp4 by default.

Please wait for a while because I am looking for a countermeasure.

Thanks for this! I would not have figured this out for a good while (as it had already been a few days before I raised the issue).
