Play/Pause a video on MediaPlate?

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

I want to play a video in game using the mediaplate actor. Getting a video (MP4) into the game using media plate has been easy enough, but I want to be able to play or pause the video by some sort of interaction (whether a key press, collision event, etc).

Has anyone done anything similar? I’ve tried converting the mediaplate to a blueprint, but it seems like the media plate loses connection to the .mp4 that was originally working, and for some reason I cannot get the file working again if the mediaplate is part of a blueprint actor. When I just drag the video file into the editor viewport, it will play normally.

Thanks in advance I’m sure there is a simple solution but i’m new to UE and I’m not having much success getting this to work.

Hey there @M1dnightHero1! Welcome to the community! If you can actually get a direct reference to your media plate, and run these on it directly:
