Hi Frank!
There’s actually a way to do this, but you run into a bug when you do. If you use this style of URL you can open up a Version directly in the Overlay Player in the Media app:
https://yoursite.shotgunstudio.com/page/media_center?type=Version&id=6588
Replace your Version ID and you’re off to the races.
However after navigating to that URL, whenever you open the Media app in the future you run into the bug where it’ll always load up that Version :-/.
I’ve experienced this in multiple versions of Shotgun at different studios, just wondering if there’s a way of overcoming it. Someone will share a link to a video from the media page via an external method (i.e. Slack), you’ll click the link, video will play in Shotgun. But every time you return to the media page on Shotgun via media button it will play this shared video. Meaning you to have to shut down the video before you can get to the media page.
The only I can find to get rid of the video…
