Runtime with Video

[metamict]

I'm using Filemaker 13 Advanced to turn a small project into a runtime solution.  I have some videos that are referenced. When I create the runtime solution, everything works fine, except there is an error that the solution can't find the videos.  How should I reference videos in a file that will become a runtime solution (or where should I put them once I've made the solution).

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

 

You have to insert the video in a Container field optimized for "Interactive Content" using the "Insert Video/Audio" command. Make sure that when you do so, you're not checking the option to "Store only a reference to the file." If you're doing that right and still getting an error, then you might be using External Storage on the Container field. I noticed that if you have externally stored files in Container fields, FileMaker Pro Advanced doesn't copy those files when creating a Runtime solution. So either turn External Storage off, or insert the files on the Runtime solution itself (not on the source fmp12 file). Either should work.
