Video file/GIF playback

[BGabor]

Hello All,

I'm looking for an option to play a video file (mp4 or any supported) or a GIF on a screen.
I read that there is the VideoOA EWO, but that's used for displaying live streams and requires a license.
Is there any other viable option?

Best Regards,
Gabor Baroczi

Hi Gabor,

Gif are natively supported.
For video, you can use VLC activeX if you are using Windows.

Video playback has been asked many times already:

Example how to play media within WinCC OA, for example MP4/MKV files
Playing video within WinCCOA - Linux

Basically there are 2 answers use an activex or use the html5 video tag to show it in the webview ewo.
