Using Dynamic Video Path in Widget

Posts: 38
I am trying to use a widget to get a video and play. So far I get nothing. I have tried using just video and the path. I would like to have it point to path Media and get the mp4 based on bindings

Hey so i am not aware of how much knowings you have with this program, so i will just try and make a step by step, and the you can jump over the steps that you know.

Step 1: Adding the video to ATVO.
Go down on the left were you see the Widgets, Screen etc.. Here you will find one called Video.
Right-click on it to add a video file. This will ad the video to the program.

Step 2: Create a button for the video.
You can now make a button, again by right click on the buttons section on the right.
Then go to controls, a part of the 3 fans you have on the top left. Here you can program a button to do stuff like play a video

Step 3: Program the button
When you have the button highlighted on the right you can make changes to the button, go to the control tab and under Action click the 3 dods.

Here you can add actions that will happen when you press the button, change it to play video, and under target make sure that it is the video you want

Step 4: Open op the program and pres the button and the video will now play

I am aware of the functionality you show here.

Nick mentioned using a video in a widget.

In widget properties there is a Video subheader and it has a dynamic path and Data Bindings. My intent is to call the widget with a data binding to call a particular video.

Thanks

It works the same way as dynamic images. The videos should be placed under "Theme folder/Content/Media" folder, and the Path property is relative to this folder.

So if you have files under "Theme folder/Content/Media/DynamicVideos" folder named "1.mp4", "2.mp4", "3.mp4", etc, then you can use as binding whatever binding returns 1,2,3,... and as Path use "DynamicVideos/{0}.mp4".
