In my pages i have a large text area (content) with text and images. This area can be edited with the richtexteditor. Now my client wants to be able to upload videos to the Media folder and place then in the textarea and be able to play then.
I'v read a few articles on the forum but haven't found an answer.
Do i need an additional package and is it possible to insert video with the richtexteditor. What kind of video format should i use ? flash or something else....
If you go into the developer section and edit the richtexteditor datatype, you'll see there's a media control in there (I think the icon is the Flash logo). Enable this and you should then have a rich media control in the editing toolbar in your rich text editor. It allows video in several formats (Quicktime, Flash etc).
Thank for the quick response. Should be able to get it running.
Another problem though... My flash file is about 11mb. When i upload to my media, half way getting an error refering to web.config. Is there à limit to the upload size?

I realize that this is an old thread but I am having a similar problem with inserting video. I'm just not sure of the best way to go about it. I was going to go with a macro but then I realized that our marketing team would have to edit the macro for each video. Then I tried to find a way to use a macro to provide a URL box to paste the link to a video in but then I found out that they will need to paste raw javascript code with parameters. Then I found this thread so I wanted to see if there is a current solution.
I am using the latest version of Umbraco and there are no icons in the rich text editor data type that indicate that there is rich media picker. There is an embed button which does provide a URL box but our videos aren't hosted online like on YouTube. I'm just not sure what the best way to do this is. I hope that makes since. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Check out the project section, you'll probably find some packages that offer that functionality... http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/designit-video-embed, http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/insert-video-(flowplayer), http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/insert-video-youtube,-vimeo
Hope this helps.

Hi Maarten
I you use the media-control as Dan says, you can actually just choose "Falsh" and then paste the complete URL to a YouTube video and it should work.
Good luck :-)
