Hi

I'm just trying to figure out the best way to present iFramed video for all devices. I have opted to use the "Adapt-Contrib-Media"

My challenge is figuring out the "type" field.

 

It asks for a type statement such as video/youtube, however when using a none youtube link from a different hosting platform such as viostream or vimeo, it fails to play giving me a youtube static screen.

https://publish.viostream.com/embed/player?key=otig7obtox55j&width=640&height=360

 

Leaving the "type" filed blank forces the player to display a inline "Download file" text link which goes to the source. 

"video/youtube" works as desired but only with Youtube URL's.

I have checked the WiKi and other documentation but can't seem to find the answer for this one. 

thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance

Nick

Hi Nick,

Not sure if you checked the README for the Media component. It gives examples for a couple of popular video types.

The Media component incorporates MediaElement.js . You can always explore its code on GitHub, but I'd recommend starting with the Media component's source code. See if any of the types listed here is helpful:
