Hi all,
I am doing a side project where the HMI will play an mp4 file when a certain bit turns on when I toggle it from the PLC(384kb dig I/O). I found a solution where I would go to Active X control on Factorytalk View ME. I would then choose "windows media player". I was able to add in the mp4 file, and it successfully plays when I test it. The problem is that I want it to play the sound when I turn a test bit on, but it just plays automatically.
I can't find much on the internet, and most of my controls co-workers are not familiar with playing sounds on the HMI.
note: i've tried importing tags to the enabled and url and still no luck.
Also, I've attached a pic of the connections menu that pops up. I'm not familiar with this menu(nor co-workers) so I need a bit more info.
