Embedded video in webhelp with fullscreen control

[rnvrnv]

Hi all,

I would like to have embedded video in Webhelp (classic) publication. for this I am using object tag with href attribute to specify the source.

When published the webhelp displays the embedded player but does not have the fullscreen control. Is there a way to display this fullscreen control?

regards,
rnv

Hello,

To have fullscreen control in your videos in the WebHelp output, you should make the following change:
- open "DITA-OT\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\skins\desktop\toc_driver.js" file
- find the following line:

Code: Select all

iframeHeader.src = dynamicURL;

and add the following code after this:

Code: Select all

iframeHeader.setAttribute("allowfullscreen", "true");

Regards,
Bogdan

thank you for your quick response.

however, still the fullscreen icon is still not displayed. can you please specify how I should specify in dita properly? maybe I am not specifying the tags properly.

also maybe you can let me know where in webhelp publication I can verify / change so that fulscren icon is displayed.

Hello,

In your DITA topic you should have an "object" element with the "outputclass" attribute set to "video" to have in your generated WebHelp the "video" element. Here is an example:

Code: Select all

<object outputclass="video">

  <param name="src" value="path_to_your_video" />

  <!-- Optional parameters -->

  <param name="height" value="720" />

  <param name="width" value="1280" />

</object>

in the generated WebHelp it will be

Code: Select all

<video src="path_to_your_video" controls="controls" height="720" width="1280"></video>

also maybe you can let me know where in webhelp publication I can verify / change so that fulscren icon is displayed.

In the WebHelp output, you should add the following line

Code: Select all

iframeHeader.setAttribute("allowfullscreen", "true");

in the "${OUTPUT_DIR}\oxygen-webhelp\resources\skins\desktop\toc_driver.js" file.
