How to build a power app that lists mp4 videos in a gallary and allows a user to select and play each one??

Posted on 14 May 2021 22:49:57 by 137

I am building what should be a simple power app.

I have a few PowerShell scripts set up in a power automate flow that (1) looks thru an on-premise file server folder containing a few thousand security camera video files and finds those that meet specific criteria and then adds them to a list in a csv file 2) copies those in the curated list to a folder in one drive, and 3) the flow also creates a table of the files that were copied to the one drive folder - and saves the table in OneDrive.

 

I am using one drive for business, and have an E3 license for the tenant I am using.

 

The table contains links which use UNC local addresses for the files in the OneDrive folder on the local machine - not html links.

 

In Power apps, I have a button which runs the flow process above so the list of videos can be updated on-demand thru the power app. There is also a gallery where the data source is set to the table mentioned above (table is on one drive and gets updated dynamically).

 

Here is my problem - I cannot see a way to take the file links contained in the table, and used as a data source for the power apps gallary - and then use those links so they end up as selection objects in the gallery -  so I can select each, one at a time, and then play the selected mp4 video in an adjacent power apps media video player.

 

What should be the easiest part, has got me stumped.

 

Any insights would be helpful.

Some pictures attached.
