Embed link-shared video in Wordpress?

[alexanderdd]

Hello,

it does not seem possible to embed a video that I shared via public link from my Nextcloud in a wordpress post? The visitor to my wordpress blog should see a videoplayer directly in the post, and just press play.

Nextcloud is not listed here Embeds | WordPress.org maybe that’s something we wanna work towards? If I understand correctly, Nextcloud would have to implement https://oembed.com/

What do you think?

Best options right now are to use software like handbrake to transcode your content first before uploading. Kind of a work around, at least until something is i…

I got it to work:

1. install app https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/sharingpath
2. share a video via link from Nextcloud file interface
3. click on the three dots of the file, click copy sharing path (as described here (as described here GitHub - rookie0/nextcloud-sharing-path: 🌩 Nextcloud app to enhance files sharing to be accessed by stored path, can be used as CDN origin.)
4. in wordpress in the editor, add the embed block and copy the sharing path url in there (it ends with a file extension, for example .mp4)
