[CMS] Video in VB4

[janaf]

What are the options to play back video for VB4?

• Store video files
• Show video
• CMS
• Forum

I'd appreciate something like an overview for the available options....

You can embed video in posts/articles from a range of providers:

• Hulu
• YouTube
• Vimeo
• Dailymotion
• Metacafe
• Google
• facebook

They can also be uplaoded as attachments provided the file extension type is listed/added to the Attachment Manager.

Thanks, I found some info here about the VIDEO tag:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode#videocode

... but no details on arguments. Is it available somewhere else?

... Can vB display video inline/plugin style window from uploaded attachment files (assuming user browser supports it), not just displaying a link?

... Any additional video streaming software needed for Apache2 / vb4? to play local files from the vb uploads area as above,?

No, attached images won't stream/display video.

You'd need third party modifcations to host a video streaming site, and if you wanted to be really serious, major hardware and software outside of vBulletin.

Thanks,

I will continue on vb.org...
