5 Using Videos with Tags
Thegvps plugin provides a tag library which is one of the primary methods of using the plugin after the Movie domain objects have been created. All tags for this plugin are available in the vid: namespace.Two tags in a gsp are required to display a video. The first is the includes tag, which is placed in the <head> of the page to pull in the appropriate video player library. The specific library used is specified with the player attribute, which must be set to either 'jwflv' or 'flowplayer'. Use the 'jwflv' setting if the 'ffmpeg.fileExtension' configuration variable is set to 'flv' and the 'flowplayer' setting if 'ffmpeg.fileExtension' is set to 'mp4'.The second tag is the display tag, which is inserted into the markup of the body to render the player object. The player attribute is again used to specify the type of player and the id or movie attribute is used to specify the video to be displayed. Additional attributes are used to specify whether to stream the video and its size.Lastly, the convertVideoPlaytime tag is used to render video play times in readable form.
