Hello Mifras,

If you use AE in your deploy or Windows on ZEBRA devices you can perfome this action:

To play a video file sendintent -a "intent:file:///sdcard/www/Email.wmv#Intent;type=video/x-ms-wmv;component=com.cooliris.media/.MovieView;launchFlags=0x4000000;end"

Remember to transfer a file by package or file sync, after that made the correct appointment to file path and execute the command.

Also you can use third party partner store here in market place and look for another apps to help you in this task!

I can help you if you need further assistance

If your Android agent is recent enough, I think there is a new built-in feature to remotely sound a short beep if the device volume has not been muted by the device end-user.  It is meant as an audio alert to the device end-user, and won't serve your purpose of locate a possibly lost/stolen device located nearby.

If you need a loud alarm, you likely need to find a third-party alarm app, which just play a loud alarm on execution or on receiving pre-defined Android intent.  With such app, you can use MobiControl script to either start the app or send the required Android intent remotely to achieve what you need.

Thanks for the reply..

I have tested but unfortunately video not playing through script. But command is success 

   Please note wmw not playing even directly so changed to mp4.

sendintent -a "intent:file:///sdcard/Movies/FindMyDevice.mp4#Intent;type=video/x-ms-mp4;component=com.cooliris.media/.MovieView;launchFlags=0x4000000;end"

Did some more modification to command.

Removed the additional line after mp4, its working now. Thanks for your help

sendintent -a "intent:file:///sdcard/Movies/FindMyDevice.mp4#Intent;type=video/mp4;end"

Hey Mifras,

Try a conversion in this file from mp3 to mp4!

Another try:

sendintent -a "intent:file:///storage/emulated/0/alert.mp3#Intent;type=audio/mpeg;component=com.android.music/.AudioPreview;launchFlags=0x4000000;end”

You need to identify you default sound/video application and change it on the command "com.android.music" this example is from a Zebra device and maybe will not work on other brand and models, but is simple to identify your default application.
