Video playback in Dam for Sitecore, can be configured.
In the following section we will explain the different ways the video playback can be handled.
Digizuite embed player
Out of the box, Digizuite's embed player is used for rendering video asset in Sitecore. The html is a iframe, which can be ether a fixed width and height or it can be responsive to the container it is part of.Example
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" src="https://[DAM URL]/dmm3bwsv3/embedplayer/play.aspx?accesskey=71c38ac6-2def-43b8-a226-ce1ad8152f57&aid=86&autostart=0&width=auto&height=auto&videoquality=videoPreview&fs=1" style=""></iframe>
Native browser video playback
This player uses the native browser video playback. The drawback of this solution, is that the player controls looks different on each browser vendor.Example
<div style="width:640px; height:360px;">
<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">
</video>
</div>- Custom video playback through API (code behind)
You can retrieve the video streaming URL from the API, see this guide DFS 8.1.0 - 4 Accessing metadata through API, and from here you can construct your own preferred video player.
12.1 Configuration
To configure the html for the video asset go to sitecore → Templates → Branches → DFS → AssetTypeOutputRoot → AssetTypeOutputRoot and select the 01 - Video item.
The Html section contains the html template for the different content areas. The 2 important fields for video playback is Rich Text Editor Media and Asset Field Type. This is what gets rendered when you insert an video asset into RTE or uses the DAM for Sitecore asset field.The stampvalues in the html are tags that will be replaced through a pipeline. Read more about the stampvalues under section 3.6. When ever you make any change to these fields, then you have to synchronize you silo for it to work with the changes.
