I am able to play a video on iOS/Android with the following command-

 play videoClip (specialFolderPath("engine") & "/samplevidep.mov")

Playback works fine, but this results in the video playing back fullscreen.

Is there any way to have play a video, on mobile with the similar control/functionality of a LiveCode player object?

In iOS, you can set the fullscreen property of a player to false. This works on iOS only. You can also set the rect of a player. You can set these properties with

mobileControlSet gPlayerID,"fullscreen",false
mobileControlSet gPlayerID,"rect","0,0,600,450"

The documentation of LC 6.5, which I'm using today, doesn't say anything about choosing whether a movie plays full-screen or not. You could try to set the rect on Android.

When playing a video with the Play command in a LiveCode iOS, a new player is created full screen and the video is started automatically.

Marks suggestion of setting the fullScreen and rect of player object is the method I would suggest also but you would first need to create such a player with the mobileControlCreate command

e.g.

 mobileControlCreate "player", "my_player"

In Marks example above, he is using the ID that is returned by the mobileControlCreate command to reference a specific control (via gPlayerID). This value can be obtained from the Result function after the player is created
