Tags and parameters

oui_dailymotion vs oui_player

While the <txp:oui_player /> tag is able to embed any video from any extension-related provider, the <txp:oui_dailymotion /> tag is a shortcut to embed Dailymotion videos only. It is strictly equivalent to <txp:oui_player provider="dailymotion" />.

Check the oui_player documentation for more informations.

Recognised values for the play attribute

• ID;
• http(s)://dai.ly/ID;
• http(s)://www.dailymotion.com/video/ID…;
• http(s)://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/ID.

When using the <txp:oui_player /> tag (vs <oui_dailymotion />), the right provider needs to be set if the play value or its field related one is an ID. It is optional, but can fasten the rendering, if the value is an URL.

Player customization

Preferences vs attributes

While some player customization elements, related to the media to play, should be used through attributes, these used as global settings should preferrably be set through the plugin preferences to avoid a massive use of tag attributes.

Of course, it is still possible to override a preference value via an attribute when needed.

The width of the player in pixels.
