Intro

This plugin adds streaming support for html5 videos.

Installation

composer install jaxwilko/wn-mediastream-plugin

Usage

Once installed, you can use the video component to add a video to your page:

title = "Example"
url = "/example"
is_hidden = 0

[video]

==
{% styles %}
<div>
    {% component 'video' file='media/videos/example.mp4' %}
</div>

If you're not using the {% styles %} tag, you'll need to include /plugins/jaxwilko/mediastream/assets/css/video.css yourself.

The video component supports the following properties:

Lazy loading support is compatible with verlok/vanilla-lazyload.

The file property is the path to your video within the media storage.

E.g. file='videos/example.mp4' will load storage/app/media/videos/example.mp4 when using local storage.

Metadata

Video metadata can be added via the backend, this is used to support the VideoObject schema.

Thumbnails

By default, if the file is in local storage a thumbnail will be generated using ffmpeg. If the file is remote, then ffmpeg will not be able to generate the thumbnail and you will have to supply your own. This can also be done via the MediaStream Meta tab in the backend.

The meta thumbnail will also be used instead of the generated one if present.
