Description

Setting the source property of a VideoPlayer or VideoDisplay to the url property of a File instance (e.g. app-storage:/content/videos/Video.mp4) causes the video component to dispatch a MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent with "playbackError" state.

It is still possible to use File.nativePath, but found this method problematic with cross-platform compatibility in the past in that the videos won't load on Mac using nativePath.
