Insert Video adds a composer button that simplifies adding videos with subtitles (VTT format), a poster image and multiple video sources to a Discourse post.
Sweet, thank you! Would it be possible to allow audio as well and just keep showing the poster image (or if none is available maybe a configurable background color) plus subtitles?
Also, and I realize this is a much bigger ask, would something like what the YouTube Timestamps Component does be doable with this component in the long-term? That’d be absolutely fantastic.
After adding two additional line breaks before inserting the video, I made it work with an MP4 file. But so far, I had no luck with a MOV file. And the ones I found here on Meta don’t seem to work either. For example:
It would be nice if there was a button in the preferences to change the video icon, or if it was a different video icon. It’s the same as the Jitshi plugin icon, so it’s hard to tell the difference.
Can the video file be via a URL or does it need to be an uploaded file? The video that I want to use is 2.3GB (60-minute video). I tried increasing the max file size, but it doesn’t appear to be capable of something this large:
This way you know you own your data, video storage doesn’t rely on Discourse or your server capabilities, and you pay for what you use. Ideally, you just customize your API settings on Discourse, enable the theme component, and when uploading videos, they’re automatically uploaded to bunny.net stream, and embedded into your discourse post properly without sweating it
Thanks @NateDhaliwal, I’m trying to get a Discourse community that is using this DiscourseVideo plugin, so I can see the user experience for myself. @putty, if you are using it, I will be happy to know the URL of your community so I can see for myself.
We are using the rep that @NateDhaliwal provided, but it is only visible to content admins. They are the only users in our community who have bumped against the standard file size.
