Component "Video Player"

Usage

  • By using this component editors can add a video to a page
  • For users with a chinese GeoIP the WeChat video would be used
  • For all other users including users without a known GeoIP would be the YouTube video ID used

The assigned item of the component has the following fields:

  • YouTube Video ID: The ID of the video (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvud9AtTMe0 has ID "bvud9AtTMe0")
  • WeChat Video ID: The ID of the WeChat video (e.g. https://v.qq.com/txp/iframe/player.html?vid=i324458rbh4 has ID "i324458rbh4")

And the following rendering params:

  • No rendering params

Further information:

  • The video IDs can be set in the experience editor via edit frame
  • The component does not have any rendering param yet
  • The size of preview image is fixed and set to 560 width and 315 height
  • For testing purposes to get the WeChat video even when outside of China the GeoIP can be overritten with the "CountryCode" url param set to "CN": Test WeChat Video

Issues:

  • The size of the preview image is fixed, but it make sense to maintain it to provide a better quality
  • The video component can atm only be inserted to the main column, but it makes sense to insert it also into the Two- or even Three-Column component
