Overview:
It is possible to play a video file stored on a USB drive (MP4) on a G5 panel (MD/T and Varia) as a moving logo or video.
Below is a step by step on how to do this.
Procedure
- Make sure you have the video file you want available.
- Store this file on the root of a USB drive formatted to FAT32.
- Create a button on a page and set the video fill type to streaming video.
- If you want to trigger this video file from the panel with no code you can use a function on the show page from a loop back port to execute the command ^SDM-1,0,file:///udisk/Demo.mp4 (Demo.MP4 being the file name from the video on the root of the USB drive).
- Once this is complete you can upload this design to the panel and when this page is showing the video will play on loop.
You can also call this code using Send_Command dvTP,"'^SDM-1,0,file:///udisk/VideoFileName.mp4'" and as long as the file is on the root of the USB the video file called will play.
There is also a demo for download on this article which shows the above as a standalone project the Varia-100 with no NetLinx controller. If you use a NetLinx controller you will need ensure the video fill button has an address code the command will report to.
