Hello

 

Does anyone know how I can trigger a MP4 video file thru PB?

Just like I would show a PDF or BMP.

 

Thank You 

Tom

Greetings, Tom -

If your mp4 file is local, I believe you can still use the HyperLinkToURL PowerScript function by passing a URL containing a file specification. For example:

Inet linet_base
GetContextService('Inet',linet_base)
linet_base.HyperLinkToURL('file://C:\Users\username\Documents\example.mp4')

Regards, John

If the video is hosted online, one simple way is to use the HyperLinkToURL().
