Youku

[maltebeckmann]

I just tried integrating a Youku video into a post using djangocms-video (==2.0.3). I couldn't get it work. Have any of you tried that at all? Does this plugin only work with Youtube and Vimeo? No matter how I amend the embed code url, I just can't get it to show up properly.

Hello @maltebeckmann it should work with any video that supports embed, djangocms-video basically renders the video as an iframe. A quick search reveals that you have to use something like:

http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf

[maltebeckmann]

Yes, that's the URL format I used. Am I just not posting this correctly: I suppose it needs to be entered in the Embed Video link field. Can you confirm this works for you?

@maltebeckmann it seems to be working from a correct link:

Ok, I am finally getting a proper error message! Had some horrid DNS issues here.

I am getting a /static/cms/js/libs/swfobject.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I am noticing that my browser is looking for
/static/cms/js/libs/swfobject.min.js
and
/static/cms/swf/player.swf

Both files are located under /cms/ but aren't there, despite me running collectstatic. Am I missing some config step?

@maltebeckmann that is awkward @maltebeckmann swfobject was required in previous versions of djangocms-video. Are you sure you are using >=2.0? The newer versions only use HTML5 video and are not requiring swfobject anywhere.

pip freeze tells me I have djangocms-video==2.0.3

@maltebeckmann thats an outdated template, checkout: https://github.com/divio/djangocms-video/tree/master/djangocms_video/templates/djangocms_video/default

[maltebeckmann]

I found the exact same files under ~/.virtualenvs/eclink_env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/djangocms_video/templates/djangocms_video/default

But I do have aldryn-video==1.0.0 installed. Could that be interfering?
or an interference with cmsplugin_filer_video?

I don't have any missing migrations either.

[FinalAngel]

@maltebeckmann not seing swfobject being used in aldryn-video

[maltebeckmann]

I commented out cmsplugin_filer_video and that seems to have removed the old template stuff.

However, now I am getting a message in Chrome dev tools saying:

Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/x-shockwave-flash: "http://static.youku.com/v1.0.0684/v/swf/loader.swf?VideoIDS=XNDYwMTEzMTY0&w…526type%253D0%2526embsig%253D1_1484560838_a7115a5e0c44e085f42b23528b438d5f".

[FinalAngel]

yeah thats something that comes from youku directly, the only alternative there would be to use their api and rewrite the frontend of djangocms-video to use that.

Closing now :)
