MediaVid
^do( MediaVid, filename, [type] )^
Type: Macro
Purpose: Embeds a 4x3 HTML5 video player
The MediaVid macro inserts the barebones HTML5 video player. For why the poster element is important here (and how to set it), see The Directories Dashboard. Also, be sure you have set your online uploads directory in the Directories Dash.
- If BoxPress detects the regex "https??://" inside the filename arg, it will treat it as a full url and will not prepend your Uploads Directory (set in the Directories Dash) in the url path.
- To speed load times, you can also now include an optional second arg, specifying the media type attribute. If this is left blank, the video/mp4 value is inserted.
To embed Flash (YouTube) videos, use MediaTube (responsive) or MediaTubeSmall.
