Piles of great options to explore. Check out the video. Ask any questions you may have. Special thanks to @Flashman, @Jerry and @AdieJAM who been kindly testing for us. I am sure @AdieJAM is happy to share his experience using Any Video.
Thanks @PeteSharp, I was so looking forward to this release. Any Video is Brilliant! You work is such as asset to Blocs.
Question regarding loading lots of video on one page. How does Any Video handle the pre-loading or nor per-loading?
The only load initially is the poster image. So thats up to you how well optimised that is. The videos load on demand. eg. The modal is dynamically created on click and the video is streamed.
This is an excellent bric and I think Blocs users will find it opens the doors to some really creative video presentations on their websites. @PeteSharp really went the extra mile making this useful and it took a lot of work.
I agree with what everyone has said and this is something I have been wanting for a long long time. I felt honoured to have been asked to test this for @PeteSharp so thank you for that.
I use a LOT of videos on my websites for my live streaming events from the live event itself and then creating a grid of images which open in modals for their viewing after and this was a pain at times and now Any Video has made things not just easier but giving me so many more options to create something much more appealing to the eye, smoother and modern.
I have a few projects I am working on now where this will be used!!!
Quickly put together! Needs some finishing touches. But like the last one held together with sticky tape. They say a builders house is falling down and a sparkyās house has loose wires. I think web devs spend very little time on their own sites in general.
Non-web pro question:
I have a video from my phone.
I move it to my Blocs page and drop in in the āwellā in the video Bric (Standard Bric) to play on my site.
How do I do that with your Bric?
Do I have to host it on Vimeo or youtube to use the Bric?
Hey @WeatherguyNH at present there is no Video Well in the API. Norm seemed to keen to add this. I am hoping this makes it happen and we can add it in with an update.
