open Internally uploaded video embeddind as HTML5 player #7

Is there any examples of how of the 'watch' and "replace" for embedded videos? I am trying to get uploaded videos embedded but I can't seem to get the proper regex or new replacement code to get it to work.

Do you regex on the markdown code, or the url? What is the replacement code?

@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?

Hey,

I'm trying to figure out how I can get uploaded videos to be embedded instead of a link. I tried the htmlvideo and ns-embed plugin to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated. I want to upload video instead of hosting it on youtube.

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

I cannot login into the admin panel. The browser fails and says "too many redirects".

Upon getting SSO working for wordpress and nodebb, I now cannot access my admin panel. Whenever I try to I get a "too many redirects" error. I'm essentially locked out now.

Is there anyway around this?

I am using the s3-upload-updated plugin and it's uploading and displaying fine in the forum, but it requires the file have public access in AWS.

Is there anyway to restrict this so you can only view the image/file within the forum?

Hey,

Are there any docs on managing a nodebb forum, or documentation on all the settings and what they are?

I seem to only be able to find the installation doc.
