Hello there I think I know how to solve your problem

  1. Do not put the view inside a stacklayout , it wont show, try to put it in a grid instead.

  2. If you are running an iOS project then make sure to call Rox.VideoIos.Init(); before Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(); inside the AppDelegate.CS

  3. Change the source of the video to something that actually works 

    <Grid>

    <roxv:VideoView AutoPlay="True"
                    LoopPlay="True"
                    ShowController="True"
                    Source="https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/MI201109210084_1/m3u8s/f08e80da-bf1d-4e3d-8899-f0f6155f6efa.m3u8" />
</Grid>

I made a dummy project that might help you , you can download it from here
