Gallery for videos  en

Author: Duncan Baker

I have 70+ training videos between 7 and 12 minutes long. Currently I host the on my server. That works fine but is not very elegant. I am looking for a gallery solution.

I have purchased both the vimeo and youtube optional object galleries. They look exactly what I am after. The back ends look identical and rely on listing the URLs of the videos. 

Would either or both of them work with the URLs of the videos on my sever?

Any experience or advice on hosting/embedding that number of videos would be gratefully accepted.

Hello Duncan

the YouTube and Vimeo gallery is definitely the only objects currently available that can achieve such an effect, but both of them unfortunately only support videos coming from the correct service

As of now, I must confirm that it is not possible to generate a Gallery with videos already present on your server. You can only do so for videos that are uploaded on a third-party service

That being said, since this could make for a nice improvement to the Gallery Object or a new dedicated Object, I've turned the topic into an Idea to keep this highlighted for the future

Thank you for your feedback

Hello Duncan

You could maybe use this: https://jalbum.net/en/?index=

It is not totally free, but when installed on your own webspace, it will be a one-time-fee that is not bigger than if you should by an app with credits. 

There are free apps on the net, but I have tested this jalbum.

You could also make something yourself.

In the bottom of this page: https://bramminginfo.dk/sneum-digeso.html  I have made a dropdown with youtube videos. The videos could as well have been videos on your own server.

You could have 4 columns on a page with dropdowns. All entries in the dropdown should play a video in an iframe.
