Simple Audio Video Embedder

[vbgamer45]

It should...If not you can comment out the code in the file repackage and try to upload it and install again.

[Senkusha]

Okay, I commented out the offending code, and manually added the tables.  It installed! YAY, but I don't see any options in the post box to insert a video clip?

[vbgamer45]

There is none for that.
This mod you just post the link for the video url/site and it should embed based on the settings.

[Senkusha]

So I just use the Hyperlink BBC?  Based on that all I see is a link, I'm guessing .mkv files aren't supported yet?

[vbgamer45]

Yeah if there is no local .mkv  option then yes not supported.

Not sure of a player that can play. They claim here https://jumpshare.com/viewer/mkv

[Senkusha]

Ah, okay.  I looked briefly at Jumpshare, but I don't need a place to upload my videos, as they're already on my website.  I just need a player that I can embed in a message post.

[vbgamer45]

I don't think it is possible without an outside service... I feel like they convert the videos in the backend to something playable in a browser.

[Sesquipedalian]

MKV is not a supported container format for videos in HTML5.

[Senkusha]

After doing some research, I came to that same discovery.  I found a work around!

[Senkusha]

After some trial and error, I've discovered that 950 px? for the Height of the player works great for PDFs.  However, is there a way to tell the viewer to shrink to the "default" for a video file?

[Senkusha]

Also, I noticed that Guests can still view these "attachments", even though I have my Attachments Visible to Guests is disabled.  Is there a way to add this permission?  Thank you!

The items dealt by this mod are not attachments,  they are embedded content. So attachments permissions are irrelevant

I think Senkusha must be referring to this setting which is part of this mod, "Enable Play Media Attachments"   

[Senkusha]

Oh!  Okay. Maybe a permission added to the mod might be in order to prevent bandwidth loss from bots/non Members?

[vbgamer45]

Yeah a setting option would be best. Currently SMF has one for "'Display image attachments as pictures under post" should add one for videos too.
