E107: How to insert video to tinymce ?

[Jimmi08]

I have self-hosted video.

I want to insert it to the news body/extended. It's not displayed. TinyMCE messed the code.

Neither using bbcodes f.e. in my forum without TinyMCE [video]

Only way is using html5 tag manually via editing forum post, but then the problem with new lines will start.

Hey @Jimmi08
The only way i can succeed is using the base url for movie from media manager
ex : {e_MEDIA_VIDEO}2019-05/destination_moon_1950_movie_trailer.mp4

Now what normally happens (normal?) it strips (plain post inside tinymce editor) the src tag.(on save)
So no path...
Now i go into CODE mode inside tinymce and paste the following:
<video width="420" height="400" src="{e_MEDIA_VIDEO}2019-05/destination_moon_1950_movie_trailer.mp4" controlslist="nodownload" controls="controls"> Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element. </video>
this will be known by you (w+h this case guessed but h will be 360 or so) but i use the extra 'control'function here to (sneaky) disable the download button.... (the 'play'bar is created by browser, but this way it will be hidden).
So inside code and use plain url.. the below function edit mode ADD movie ; image etc.. has no effect.
example (voux papilion minter extended field). Yup it is not as how it is intended i guess.. (i believe/assume it is the url that is someway being (thumb ??) wrongfully crippled..

I use this way in the forum with bb codes. There has to be another way, this is basic functionality... But thanks

Confirmed, that this is still the only way how to insert video to the TinyMCE area.

reproduced here, seems like a parsing bug.

The post on sk reflects the issue here..

In my opinion, it is something that is missing for tiny. In tiny 3 we had a media plugin, which does not appear anymore after 2013 first alpha for 2 as tinymce was pulled out of core, and became core plugin.
Not sure if at that timeframe tinymce4 media was a paid part...
Haven't tested it using and adapting tiny to use a newer media plugin, and changing wysiwig/mediamanager etc...
That is out of my league. I just experimented with different scenarios untill i found one, that did the job. It's a basic solution, but would even need more (alike auto browser switch if mp4 is not played> go to webm > or ogg/theora …..

Tested 👍
result using insert media with media manager file path :
