Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVideoStreaming

Prettier embeds for your native streaming videos in Neos CMS - with excellent options like high-res preview images, lightbox feature, captions, and advanced customization of embed options.

Installation

Most of the time, you have to make small adjustments to a package (e.g., a configuration in Settings.yaml). Thus, it is essential to add the corresponding package to the composer from your theme package. Mostly this is the site package located under Packages/Sites/. To install it correctly, go to your theme package (e.g.Packages/Sites/Foo.Bar) and run the following command:

composer require jonnitto/prettyembedvideostreamingstreaming --no-update

The --no-update command prevent the automatic update of the dependencies. After the package was added to your theme composer.json, go back to the Neos installation's root and run composer update. Et voilà! Your desired package is now installed correctly.

Customization

Configuration

If you want to customize the default settings, take a look at the Settings.Jonnitto.yaml file. If no node property is giving, these default values will be taken. If you, for example, don't want to let the editor choose if the video should open in a lightbox, you can deactivate the mixin in your Configuration folder like this:

'Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVideoStreaming:Content.Video':
  superTypes:
    'Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedHelper:Mixin.Lightbox': false

These are the available mixins (Prefixed with Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedHelper:Mixin.) used for the video stream:

Fusion

If you want to use the player as a pure component, you can use the Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVideoStreaming:Component.Video fusion prototype.

If you want to read the node properties and let the package handle all for you, you should use the Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVideoStreaming:Content.Video prototype. For easier including in your node types, you can disable the content element wrapping with contentElement = false. This is useful if you want to create, for example, a text with a video node type.
