A video player file can be opened using the Video Player. By default it is set to File Media Source and most defaults are automatically set for you from C++ side except for Name and Space required in MB. It is highly recommended that you create your own Media Source and assign it in video file.

To create a new video file, right click on Content Browser and select Blueprint Class. The from the resulting window, search for Video File and select Operating System Video File.
