Jim M Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 The video file would need to be uploaded as an attachment to the post itself or you would need to use a supported embed site, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could create a custom toolbar to embed the video in each though but natively there is no option to embed an MP4 URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sychn Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 I remember I could set a bbcode to embedded videos from outside link, more like this style: [video]link[/video] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Explosion Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 @sychn as per PM, here's a different way of doing what you are trying to achieve using this: 2 hours ago, Jim M said: same concept as setting up a custom toolbar in version 4. ACP -> Customization -> (Editor) Toolbars Click 'Add Button', and go to the 'Custom' tab Populate the fields as you wish, but adhere to the following specifics: Enable 'Use option?' Enter some text in the 'Option label' field (example: 'Link') In the HTML field, enter the exact code from the codebox provided in this post Click 'Save' You will now have a new button in your "Buttons not on editor", which you can drag and drop around the available editors On the front-end, click the button, paste the link into the provided dialog box field, and click OK HTML: <p> <video controls=""> <source src="{option}">{option} </video> </p> Jim M, AlfaSpaceNET, rastafari and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried but the problem seems still the browser. I have tried different codec like H.264, but still no play button worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Anything outside of that would depend upon the browser. If its surrounded in HTML5 video tags, then from there on in, it's the browser that decides how to display that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
