"Video" control type

[jcklpe]

It would be great to have the ability to have custom field specifically for videos.

[RobStino]

@jcklpe Are you talking about for adding/uploading videos? Or for linking to YouTube et al.?

[tommusrhodus]

@RobStino perhaps a specific oEmbed control would be useful to allow exact placement of oEmbed objects?

[jcklpe]

Personally I'm talking about uploading videos.

This would be great. I am looking for wrapping Youtube Iframes in order to style them. Also Twitter Embeds, as you say to control exact placement.

Cool!
We've got both an oEmbed field as well as a video upload field in our roadmap.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Maybe I'm being naive but would it not be easier to turn the "image" field into a "media" field that allows you to pick from all media by default? Then if you wanted to only include only certain file type/s it could reference a new field present at setup that could contain a comma delimited list of allowed extensions (.jpg, .gif, .mp4 etc...).

[lukecarbis]

That's a great idea @ludderz – or instead of allowed extensions, you could choose allowed media types (e.g. Image / Video / Any).

This video control was requested by another user.

Another user just requested this for a YouTube URL.

Hi @Alaamasoud,
We're not adding new features to Block Lab, but maybe to https://github.com/studiopress/genesis-custom-blocks

Though we don't have concrete plans for this feature.
