What I'm trying to achieve is to upload a video to the Media section in Umbraco 8 CMS and embed then choose the video to embed in Content, just like what is normally done with images. The video can be .mp4/.avi etc.
Looks like Umbraco 8 only supports YouTube and Vimeo videos, but that's not ideal in my case.
Umbraco 8 supports a lot more than YouTube and Vimeo out of the box: https://our.umbraco.com/apidocs/v8/csharp/api/Umbraco.Web.Media.EmbedProviders.html
If there IS an external provider you'd like to use, but it isn't in the list above, it's possible to create your own embed provider to make the Embed dialog support it. As long as it supports OEmbed it shouldn't be crazy complicated to do, I think. Have a look here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/extending/Embedded-Media-Provider/
In case you are simply not able to use an external video service, you probably have to do something like what is mentioned here: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/84626-inserting-video-banners-in-umbraco (in short, create a Media Picker property on your document type and handle it in the template like Micha describes)
In umbracoSettings.config file there's a section disallowedUploadFiles. Is Mp4 in there? You should be able to do this
There is also a max file size, so maybe check your vide is under that as well

I am using TinyMCE for publishing articles in some journalistic and cultural portals.
As for the media (images, audio, video, documents), everything will have to be uploaded and managed internally, without using external links to services such as YouTube and TinyPIC, which I have no control over to ascertain the permanence of the media.
I was already using the images_upload_url option for images but I cannot find a similar option for all other media or a general option that works for all media types.
For some current sites I am using the external responsivefilemanager plugin but I was hoping that in future releases of TnyMCE an internal option similar to images_upload_url would be integrated.
Is this an option I can't find or has it not yet been integrated and responsivefilemanager still needs to be used?
I recently had the same question, turns out if you are using a paid plan for TinyMCE, you could use their TinyDrive plugin & a TinyCloud account.
This allows to upload images, files and medias, plus it better integrates with their tools (ie you have a nice UI to access uploaded files by your text editor)
It may answer your need! I give you the link to their documentation: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/6/tinydrive-introduction/. You have a nice example on this page, to try it :
Click on the Upload icon and upload your video
Click on Insert > Media > General
Click on the Upload icon and here is your video that you can add to your text content
Have a great day,
I'm developing a web app for in-house use and I'm looking for a better way to display PDFs.
I've played around with Adobe's 'Work with Local File' example from GitHub, Adobe GitHub Example, and it works great using the file picker to display a PDF. Is it possible with Adobe's PDF Embed API to take a file located on a local file share and display the PDF?
I'm thinking I need to create a file promise but I'm not sure how to create that.
Unless you can make a network request to load the PDF, the answer is no. Browsers generally can't read from local files unless a user action actually picks the file. If your local share can be made accessible via HTTP, then you would be good to go.
I'm working with pdf files that have urls inside it, and it's presented like images, I want the pdf to be presented like html file, so when the user clicks on a url inside the document it opens the url using safari
I'm using this library to read pdf files
https://github.com/Alua-Kinzhebayeva/iOS-PDF-Reader
and I have no problem to migrate to another library if it supports what I need
From a quick look at that library, it appears it is rendering each page as an image and then displaying it. It would probably be pretty tough to use that library to allow clickable links.
I don't have any experience with 3rd party solutions but theres a couple ways to do it provided by Apple.
You could show the pdf in a WKWebView or a QLPreviewController. Both have delegate methods that are called when a link is clicked.
To make it even easier to work with user content, we enable image post-processing. This way, regardless of what type of file a user uploads from the Cloud or their local device, you can be sure it's in exactly the right size. To convert an image, take the filepicker url and append /convert, along with query parameters specifying what you want to change. See the Docs»
filepicker.io shows an example of a cropping tool on their front page. Could that be built into the picker itself?
We've discussed building it into the upload experience a la iOS, but think that the functionality is best done as a step after the upload. The demo on our front page is done using JCrop, and at some point we'll open-source the demo as a jquery plugin or similar.
I am trying to list out all Video from a url. For this i m sending an request to "You Tube"
url as "http://www.youtube.com/" and want to list out all available video . But i didn't get anything from that request ? any idea or any documentation hint ?
There are utilities for downloading youtube videos (for example Linux has youtube-dl), but it's not uncommon for sites with large numbers of downloadable files to prevent attempts to simply download everything - and even though you said you wanted to list rather than download all the videos, that's unfortunately what it would suggest to a website administrator.
Besides, files on youtube are not accessed by simple urls like http://www.youtube.com/filename
Something more is required. I don't think you can treat the (what is it?) 11 character alphabet soup as a filename, it's a parameter passed to the software which streams back the video.
EDIT: youtube-dl is a command-line program in Linux and probably BSD. You need to know the URL of the Youtube video so you can type (for example)
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1JZ9O15280
If you had a list of these URLs you could put them in a file and make a bulk download script - but that takes us back to your original question.
In Firefox I would right-click on a link to a Youtube video and choose 'copy link location'. Then paste the URLs one at a time into a text file. But this question is drifting away from mere programming...
