I understand and am pretty frustrated with Adobe (they had decent support on
linux but simply gave up at some stage)....However, sometimes videos are the
best way to present some information in a presentation. The method that you
sent in the other message:
\gotobox{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}[url(woodwork.mp4)]
works (clicking on the file opens the file in an external viewer) but I prefer
to show the video inside the PDF.
My current solution is to use pdfpc (https://pdfpc.github.io/), which is able
to play the usual \externalfigure[filename.mp4] videos well...just that I need
to click the video in order to start it. They do have a latex specific method
to autostart a video...I'll try to see if I can figure out what is the actual
PDF code that needs to be embedded and try to replicate it in context.
