Installation

Most of the time, you have to make small adjustments to a package (e.g., configuration in Settings.yaml). Because of that, it is essential to add the corresponding package to the composer from your theme package. Navigate to this package in your CLI and run the following command:

composer require jonnitto/prettyembedvideo --no-update

The --no-update command prevent the automatic update of the dependencies. After the package was added to your package composer.json, go back to the root of the Neos installation and run composer update. Et voilà! Your desired package is now installed correctly.

PrettyEmbedCollection

This package is member of the PrettyEmbedCollection which contains following packages:

• PrettyEmbedVideo
• PrettyEmbedVideoPlatforms

If you install the PrettyEmbedCollection, the video players get grouped into an own group in the node-inspector; otherwise, they will be in the default group.
