TOPIC:

Hi everyone,
I wonder if someone has used the the page type Media/video to include videos hosted on a Brightcove video-cloud? If so, how has that been is customized within Xerte?

Xerte uses a cutomized verion of popcorn (regrettably an abandoned mozilla project). At the moment the following platforms are supported:
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- PeerTube
- MediaSite
- YuJa
- mp4
- iframes

iframe videos are not being tracked in general, and mp4 stream are not always recognised as such.

If the platform is a main platform for you there are two options:

- The platform can provide a link to the mp4 stream and it has an easy recognisable url, i.e. it always starts with video.brightcove.com) we need a two line addition to make that work
- If you want to use brightcoves player (because for eaxmple it provides subtitles) we would need to add a plugin for brightcove into popcorn. Brightcve needs to have a player js api for that (like this one for vimeo: developer.vimeo.com/player/sdk)

Thanks Tom.
Brightcove is the main video platform for Ndla. All our videos have subtitles in at least two languages. So we certainly will need the creation of a plugin for the Brightcove player in popcorn. There is a lot of documentation about the Brightcove player and a good starting point is: https:// player.support.brightcove.com/getting-started/index.html
If Ndla decides to start with Xerte we can discuss about this (and some other) customization.
