Using the Video Player Module
The video player module places a previously recorded video file directly into your K-Touch GUI.
Locate the videos
either
directly
on the mobile device or hosted on the Web.
1. Locate the Video Player Module
■
Under the More
tab, expand Modules and find the Video Player.
2. Drag the Module onto Your GUI
3. Video Player Properties
■
Click
on Video Player to reveal its properties in the lower left corner.
Name: Name the video player.
Row: Vertical position on the screen based on grid spaces.
Column: Horizontal position on the screen based on grid spaces.
Width: Horizontal size of the player based on grid spaces.
Height: Vertical size of the player based on grid spaces.
Corner Radius: To give the player rounded corners, increase the corner radius. The higher the radius, the larger the curve.
File URL: Location or name of the file played by the video player.
Show Control: If Yes, the video player controls are embedded in screen controls. The controls operate like the video player
native to your mobile device.
Auto Play: If Yes, the video automatically plays when
entering
the page containing the video player.
Video Loop: If Yes, the video automatically loops without any interaction from the user.
4. Set Video Player Properties
■
Set the Properties to whatever fits your project.
This example uses a video file hosted on the internet located at:
■
https://ia601406.us.archive.org/8/items/BigBugBunny_AVCHD/bigBuckBunny_avchd_720p.mp4
Copy this URL into the File URL property of the video player.
5. Finished
If
your mobile device is
saved and synced, the video
automatically
plays when the page opens in the K-Touch app. Since this video is hosted on the internet, the mobile device must be connected to the
internet to work.
6. Additional
The ‘Show Control’ option is set to YES so the user can control the video with the controls embedded in the player. However,
the video player
can be controlled with a button action as well.
■
Under the More tab in the Action Folder, find Media Control.

Drag
this action to your GUI to be part of any macro.
