relative uris for Electra Player

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello,

I’m trying to use the new Electra media player to get smooth video playback, it mentions that it can play local mp4 files. I can get it to play a local file using an absolute URI, but I can’t figure out how to make it a relative URI.
The file linked in the packaged build is still the one in the project’s folder.

The working URI for reference:

Thank you!

The normal relevant path would be

./Movies/IntroVideo/IntroVideo2.mp4

Try to keep the keep the slashes consistent. Unreal uses / in it’s paths.

But this doesn’t work, as Electra must be “Accessed through the file:// URI scheme only.” according to the doc:

Unreal converts it to file:// in the player.
