[nodebb-plugin-html5videoplayer] Embeds HTML5 Video

[Xuanwo]

Hi ,

Inspired by https://github.com/ogerly/nodebb-plugin-videoplayer , I forked it and developed a new videoplayer: html5videoplayer

Different from nodebb-plugin-videoplayer, html5videoplayer just add a video tag into page and did nothing, all video end up with mp4, mov, ogv, webm will be parsed as a video tag.

Demo looks like: https://community.qingcloud.com/topic/556

Your should insert video like this:

[video](/uploads/files/cc.mp4)

or

[video](//aa.com/bb/cc/mp4)

links start with http: and https: are not supported now.

You can open a issue here: https://github.com/Xuanwo/nodebb-plugin-html5videoplayer/issues
And install this plugin by npm install nodebb-plugin-html5videoplayer

Have Fun !

tried it but didnt work, i think it adds https always to the link

[Xuanwo]

@exodo This is strange, because // can both support https and http.

No. If id add a link on http with a webm the plugin change it to https that can no exists

@exodo Let me check that.

@Xuanwo if your change of url is just a video tag, you can achieve the same stuff with

plugin. Just add a rule for video extensions which are supported, and you are ready to go

will video uploads be converted to markdown, or the actual html output when its uploaded to a post?

[Xuanwo]

@Nicolas Looks good, I will make a pr to do that.

[Xuanwo]

@chrismccoy When you upload a video to NodeBB, you get a link like [text](/uploads/files/cc.mp4), I just transform it into a <video> tag.

This plugin is not working for me. If I upload a video, it remains a link and does not embed it.

@CJ-Infantino This plugin is deprecated

@Bri I saw that. I am trying to use the ns-embed plugin. I'm assuming that's what we should be using now.

Does it support embedding an html player for uploaded videos?
