This is a discussion topic dedicated to questions comments and discussion about the Video Easy filter

VideoEasy  replaces links to media files, with  html5 players. Primarily intended for html 5 video, it will also work for audio, youtube or rss links. The Video Easy filter uses templates to support multiple players, and allows the user to add new players or customize existing ones, all from the Video Easy filter settings pages.

Gery's Question

If I add more than one sound (I use mp3 files), only the first one is showing. If I add second file after the first one, it's not showing it or any other content after that sound. I don't think it's the problem with the template because I've tried all of them, even made a custom one, and the result is the same.

If it was just one template I would say that it must be a very old template that couldn't handle multiple MP3s. But if its all templates than it might be a case of "double filtering." Where two media plugins try to handle the same media file, basically causing the sky to fall in and hell to freeze over.

Try turning off Multimedia Plugins filter temporarily. Does that solve it? If so turn it back on, and disable handling of the mp3 file extension by the media player that Multi Media Plugins filter is using.  Or move VideoEasy filter higher in the order of filters at : site admin -> plugins -> filters --> manage filters

Hi Justin,

Just installed VideoEasy and setup a template for JWPlayer.

All seems to be working well with my basic test, thanks!

However I was wondering if it's possible to have more than one source URL for a video stream? E.g. mpd and m3u8? 

I see there is reference to a Multi Source Video template on the GitHub ReadMe but it looks like this has been removed.

Cheers,

Ryan

Yes. Its pretty easy to do. You just add the extra source in the body of the template. As long as all the video files are in the same directory then something like this would work. NB I used the URLSTUB variable. You can see more of those handy variables at: https://support.poodll.com/en/support/solutions/articles/19000083258

<video id="@@AUTOID@@" controls="controls" width="@@WIDTH@@" height="@@HEIGHT@@">
  <source src="@@URLSTUB@@.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  <source src="@@URLSTUB@@.webm" type="video/webm" />
  Your browser does not support HTML5.

Sometimes, despite video easy enabled in a course, I would like to prevent the plugin to kick in on a specific link. Is there a way to do this manually? Like assigning a class "no-videoeasy-plugin"?

Hello Justin, I was wondering how to enable the filter for videos uploaded a File resource (Embedded setting). Even if the filter is positioned above the Multimedia plugins filter, the Video Easy does not seem to apply the template to the video. Thanks gülüyor

Hi Philippe,

Yeah, filters do not always seem to work on those. If they did, we could do something. 

What I have done in the past is add JS script to the page which hunts down uploaded .wav/m4a extension files and then renders those in a popup player if the file link is clicked. If you are able to tinker with js/html to show mp4 or other video files, you could modify that for this task.

Probably not the solution you were looking for. But if you want to try ...

You will need the Generico filter for this. 

You need to create a template from the bundle file (popupwavplayer.txt) that I have attached here. Just drag the bundle file over the green "bundle" button an empty Generico filter template page in the templates area of the Generico filter settings. And save changes. In safari that drag and drop might now work. In that case use Chrome.  

The template needs to be inserted as a widget on  page where the attachements are. 
You might add it to an html block that shows on that page. After you created the template , it should be possible to just paste the following text into block text area. You have to be a little careful when pasting these things that html artifacts do not come too e.g font or span tags. These can break it. (The safest way is really to type it by hand.)
{GENERICO:type="popupwavplayer"}

The Generico filter bundle is attached.
