This module add support for embedding HTML5 videos into your website using Video Embed Field
Usage
- Install module
- Add video embed field and enable "HTML5" provider
- Add link that ends with mp4/ogg/webm
Generating thumbnails
There are two ways you can generate thumbnails for a HTML5 video:
- Server side: using the PHP FFmpeg module. This requires you to configure the module properly and add the dependent binaries.
- Client side: if, for some reason, you are unable to use the above (preferred) solution, the thumbnails can be created on page load. A new CANVAS object will be created which uses the first frame of the video as a thumbnail.
Known issues
- When using the colorbox fomatter, there is a padding applied on the bottom of the video. This will be fixed if https://www.drupal.org/node/2870151 is committed
- When using the thumbnail formatter without the PHP FFmpeg module, image styles won't be applied. This is because a canvas object is created. This object will inherit the width of the parent container. The canvas object is responsive though
