Quick start

While in your project folder, run sanity install mux-input. Read more about using plugins in Sanity here.

Make a schema type that uses the plugin's type mux.video, for example:

{
  title: "Video blog post",
  name: "videoBlogPost",
  type: "document",
  fields: [
    { title: "Title", name: "title", type: "string" },
    {
      title: "Video file",
      name: "video",
      type: "mux.video"
    }
  ]
}

Get an API Access Token and enter it into the setup screen First time you use the plugin you will be asked to enter your Mux credentials.

The Mux Video API uses an Access Token and Secret Key for authentication.

If you haven't already, generate a new Access Token in the Access Token settings of your Mux account dashboard, and make sure it got permission to both read and write video and read data.

The token is stored in the dataset as a document of the type mux.apiKey with the id secrets.mux. Having the ID be non-root ensures that only editors are able to see it.

The Mux plugin will find it’s access tokens by fetching this document.

Playing videos in the frontend

We have made an own player which supports poster images for the videos as set with this plugin, see sanity-mux-player

You could use any player which supports HLS, just point the video source to:

https://stream.mux.com/${assetDocument.playbackId}.m3u8

Enabling Signed Urls

To enable signed urls with content uploaded to Mux, you will need to check the "Enable Signed Urls" option in the Mux Plugin configuration. Assuming that the API Access Token and Secret Key are set (as per the Quick start section).

More information for this feature of the plugin can be found on Mux's documentation

Enabling MP4 support

To enable static MP4 renditions, create or open the config file found in config/mux-input.json in your studio folder. This file is automatically created the first time the studio starts after adding the plugin.

{
  "mp4_support": "standard"
}

Currently mp4_support is the only supported MUX option and this supports a value of either standard or none (the default).
