Hi,
When adding a link to the sermon video file, there is a comment that says, “Add [VIDEO_URL] to your sermon files template to display”.Can somebody please clarify what that means? I have tried a lot of possibilities and can’t figure it out. This is not a valid shortcode on it’s own, and it does not do anything as an element within the sermon shortcode…
ThanksSorry, I don’t understand. Are you saying the entire field is legacy and it is no longer possible to display the video attached via the sermon record? – otherwise, where/how is the URL entered in that field shown to the end-user when viewing the sermon record?
ThanksNot at all! It absolutely displays with the [church_admin type="podcast"] shortcode. The legacy bit is where eons ago one could create a template for how sermons displayed. Now it is just responsive as is.
OK, thanks for the clarification. I will need to do some troubleshooting then – to see what is wrong (why the video link does not show up).
1. Are there any limitations that might be at play (such as file types, locations, etc.)?
2. What would a successful display of the video look like (embedded iframe, added row and hyper-link in the “Now Playing” table, or…?You can see my sermon record here:
https://www.paintcreekcofc.org/sermons/Sermon with video link:
“Gossip – What Are We To Do?”Video link that is in the sermon record:

I see your problem!
It takes the url and pops it in an iframe – but it is expecting a youtube, vimeo or facebook share url which it will convert into the embed url if not already in that format. Those urls when displayed in a browser get wrapped by the Video company in a player!
I’m trying to do a workaround for you with amazonaws.com and coming up with lots of google content on why video tags don’t display amazonaws.com videoI think it might be a codec problem (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39229930/amazon-s3-mp4-video-not-playing-in-html-video-tag)
Just downloading the rather huge file to check.One advantage of using YouTube is that you wouldn’t need to use 886MB to view it
YouTube sizes the file for the deviceEDIT: It uses HEVC codec which is no good in most browsers except Safari and Edge – https://caniuse.com/#feat=hevc
Advantage of using a video streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo is they sort that stuff for you automaticallyOK, got it. Let me try changing the CODEC for one – and I can verify with YouTube, but for sure it would be nice if I could use a single content delivery provider. Having YouTube for video, and AWS for everything else would not be the preferred end result.
V2.8900 will wrap amazonaws.com files in a video tag and I tested your file in safari and it worked but not in chrome.
Needs to be h264 for more universal compatibility.
Cool, THANK YOU.
Here are some various CODECS you can play with on the Amazon Web Content delivery service if needed. I will try testing with the new version 2.8900.

The plugin that I currently use on another website, for rendering AWS video content, is FV Player:

Nice! I can confirm AVC and XAVC seem to work on all the browsers I have to test with (PC and Mobile). Thank you!
