Add video to product gallery on productpage, using custom attribute - Magento 2.4

Question

We would like to add video's using direct mp4 links, that we would like to load using a custom attribute on the productpage gallery.

We know the possibility to display a video on a product gallery using YouTube and Vimeo, but we do not want to upload the video's first to YouTube or Vimeo.

Is there a way to create some custom code, to add a video to the gallery?

How can we achieve this?

Answer 1

Of course - there is a way to reach this goal.

I think the easiest way to implement it is use custom attribute.

The plan is like below:

• add custom attribute with upload field
• prepare logic to save file on your sever
• save path to file on server
• create plugin and inject your custom attribute to mediaGallery
• add support for mp4 in fotorama gallery

• JGeer: Thanks! Can you help with the last two parts? How to achieve that?
• K. Maliszewski: You can check this about fotorama, seems interesting: github.com/megacarlossm/fotorama-mcsms/blob/master/README.md about creating plugin you will find a lot of information in google
