    Getting media configured in Media Picker

    I have run into a problem while building a Macro that gets a url for a media file configured in a Media Picker.

    My code: 

    @{
var videoId = Model.MacroParameters["video"];
var video = Umbraco.Media(videoId.ToString());
    }
    @videoId
    <video width="100%" autoplay>
      <source src="@video.Url" type="video/mp4">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>

    I get the videoId that looks like this:

    umb://media/139b85f3b3d5459cab79a5a36c2b1006

    When i then try to get the media using Umbraco.Media(videoId) i get nothing back, what am I doing wrong?

    Try this one : 

    @{
Udi ;
if(Udi.TryParse(videoId.ToString(), out udi))
{
var video = Umbraco.TypedMedia(udi);

    <video width="100%" autoplay>
      <source src="@video.Url" type="video/mp4">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
}

    }

    Updated code: 

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    var videoId = Model.MacroParameters["video"];
    if (Udi.TryParse(videoId.ToString(), out Udi udi))
    {
        var video = Umbraco.TypedMedia(udi);
    }
}
@video
<video width="100%" autoplay>
  <source src="@video.Url" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

    Gives an error: 

    System.Web.HttpCompileException (0x80004005): h:\root\home\navigatum-001\www\klimatvision\Views\MacroPartials\Video player.cshtml(4): error CS1026: ) expected

    Cant really figure out why its missing a ")"?

    Hi Mikael

    try this code, it's working for me:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    var videoId = Model.MacroParameters["video"];
    IPublishedContent video = null;
    Udi udi;
    if (Udi.TryParse(videoId.ToString(), out udi))
    {
        video = Umbraco.TypedMedia(udi);
    }
}

@video
@if (video != null)
{
    <video width="100%" autoplay>
        <source src="@video.Url" type="video/mp4">
        Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
}

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Here is the code of the macro that is now running and working on my site: 

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
        var videoId = Model.MacroParameters["video"];
        var video = Umbraco.Media(videoId);
   }

<video width="100%" controls loop muted playsinline autoplay>
<source src="@video.Url" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

    Tested to also work with iphone and to scale properly.
