    Can I check what media is about to be rendered using a Media Picker?

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    Is there a way I can find out what sort of file is in the Media Picker and render it out accordingly.

    For images I would use

    @if (Model.Hero != null) {
    <img src="@Model.Hero.Url">
} else (video) {
    <video class="c-home-video-inner" src="@Model.Hero.Url" poster loop autoplay preload="auto" muted playsinline></video>
 }

    Say a video (.mp4) was uploaded, however, I would need to format it for a video.

    Can I do a check based on the extension, perhaps?

    If it's an image do this, for a video, this?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi David

    Every Media item uploaded has a special property with alias called 'umbracoExtension'

    So you should be able to read that from your hero property (if that is a picked media item), I usually do a similar thing to display an appropriate icon next to the file... but you could just change the markup depending on the type:

    eg

    var fileExtension = Model.Hero.Value<string>("umbracoExtension");
 string iconClass = "fa-file-download";
            switch (fileExtension) {
                case "pdf":
                    iconClass = "fa-file-pdf";
                    break;
                case "ppt":
                case "pptx":
                    iconClass = "fa-file-powerpoint";
                    break;
                case "xls":
                case "xlsx":
                    iconClass = "fa-file-excel";
                    break;
                case "doc":
                case "docx":
                    iconClass = "fa-file-word";
                    break;
                case "mp4":
                    iconClass = "fa-file-video";
                    break;
                case "jpg":
                case "jpeg":
                case "png":
                case "gif":
                    iconClass = "fa-file-image";
                    break;
            }

    if that helps give you a steer?

    regards

    Marc
