Issue

  • There are 2 out-of-the-box fragments that support loading external videos:
    • External Video
    • Video URL
  • Right now only a couple sites are supported, such as YouTube.
  • When will the other sites, such as dailymotion, be supported?

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • However, I checked what these fragments do and to me, it seems that they load the original YouTube player in an iframe.
     
    From what I saw on Dailymotion videos' pages, the share button generates this HTML:
    <div style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;">
      <iframe style="width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;overflow:hidden" frameborder="0" type="text/html" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x8m4skj?autoplay=1" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen title="Dailymotion Video Player" allow="autoplay"> 
      </iframe> 
    </div>
    I tested this in a fragment and it worked as expected. So as long as you create or modify the existing fragment to generate this for you, you can use it
  • There is also a feature request open to implement this:
    LPS-154773 Make it easy to publish multimedia and video
