Embedding local video in Video Content Type does not work

waldo99

Hi,
the Video Content Type is nice - I can make YouTube videos work like in quickstart.
But embedding local mp4 videos do not work.

it is not possible to choose mp4 from folder... only these seem to be allowed: "Legal extensions: m4v, ogv"
I want to use local mp4 videos
embedding with custom code and iframe did not work as well

Could anyone help to get my mp4 files into this video content type?

Hi waldo99

You can mp4 as legal extensions for this content type. I updated for you via the file: /templates/ja_symphony/contenttype/types/video.xml

legalExtensions="m4v,ogv,mp4"

You should be able to select mp4 file now.

Kindly check again.

Hi,
the mp4 videos are now visible and it is possible to choose them. Thanky you.
Unfortunately the result on frontend is a kind of iframe of the whole article - not just playing the video.

check it on [http://www.kulturglashaus.at/kulturglashaus2019/index.php/de/service/kontakt]

see the screenshot

That part belongs to the Articles category module, I're reported this issue to the team for further checking. Kindly wait.

Updated:

You can open this file: templates/ja_symphony/html/layouts/joomla/content/video_play_list.php

At approx line 83:

echo '<iframe class="ja-video embed-responsive-item" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" src="'.$url.'" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>';

replace it by:

echo '<iframe class="ja-video embed-responsive-item" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" src="'.$src.'" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>';
