Native browser video playback
sdgsdfGdfgdfgThis player uses the native browser video playback. The drawback of this solution, is that the player controls looks different for each browser vendor.Info title Example <div style="width:640px; height:360px;"><div style="width:640px; height:360px;"> <video >
<video controls="controls" width="640" height="360" poster="/media/9c60ffb4e919412ab924c6b925612774/774-50045" >
<source type="video/mp4" src="https://[DAM URL]/dmm3bwsv3/assetstream.aspx?accesskey=a9402f36-039d-43ba-9109-ac599b6335b7&destinationid=10010&assetid=774&mediaformatid=50050">

The Html section contains the html template for the different content areas. The two important fields for video playback is Rich Text Editor Media and Asset Field Type. This is rendered when inserting a video asset into RTE or when using the DAM for Sitecore asset field.The stampvalues in the html are tags that are replaced through a pipeline. Read more about the stampvalues in section 3.6. Whenever changes to these fields are made, then the silo has to be synchronized in order for the changes to work.
