Video selector | MVC
The video selector enables you to display and retrieve one or several selected videos.
Using the video selector, you can:
- Select and deselect videos
- Select one or multiple videos
- Upload videos by either selecting them from a list, or using drag and drop
- Search for videos in the currently opened library or in all libraries
- Select the provider from which to retrieve videos
- Filter videos by Libraries, Categories, Tags, or Dates
- Sort videos by Title, Date created, or Date modified
NOTE: You can change the video selector's behavior by editing the widget's properties in the Advanced settings section.
The videos you select are stored in a scope array variable. The default template visualizes videos using the sfCollection directive. For more information, see Use a generic collection directive.
You can use the video selector in the frontend, as well as in the backend. For example, on a page, as well as in a widget designer.
The sfVideoSelector is a directive with an isolated scope that is defined in a module with the same name: sfVideoSelector.
