Question

Add an MP4 File Into PDMLink

Good Day Everyone,

I'm trying to add an MP4 file into PDMLink for users to be able to view. I can add the file OK but when I try to open the file from PDMLink I receive an error:
[cid:image001.png@01CF6AC0.3578AD80]

What's weird is I can open the file in c:\temp and it will play just fine.

I've got to be missing something obvious.

Jim - You need to create a data format (DataFormat) so that Windchill can tell the browser what app to launch the file in. It would be similar to the following item where you would mime type and other details. More examples can be found in <windchill home=">/loadFiles/dataformats.xml


<nmloader>
<csvdataformat handler="wt.content.LoadDataFormat.createDataFormat">
<csvformatname>MPEG Movie Clip</csvformatname>
<csvmimetype>video/mpeg</csvmimetype>
<csvdescription>mpeg</csvdescription>
<csvindexable>FALSE</csvindexable>
<csvfileformatonly>TRUE</csvfileformatonly>
<csvstandardiconstr>wt/clients/images/movie.gif</csvstandardiconstr>
<csvextensions>M1V MP2 MPA MPE MPEG</csvextensions>
</csvdataformat>
</nmloader>
