Is there a way to play a video as an action?

I can see there is a way to play audio but I can't see a way to play video. Actually, I can't find any file browser-type functionality that would allow me to do that either.

You can use action Start Activity to show a video in a media player app. Following settings should work:
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Data URI: file:///storage/emulated/0/video.mp4
Data MIME Type: video/*

You could also use option Explicit Component to request that a particular app opens the video.

Thanks! That sounds like exactly what I want. I'll give it a shot.
