Video Player Dialog Box

On an iPhone or iPad, the Video Player widget loads and plays a video from a remote location or from the local cache. The widget can display:

  • An online video from a streaming service such as YouTube.
  • An online video from a file server location.
  • A cached video from the WebDAV cache, in offline mode. The WebDAV cache can be populated by a manual download request. For details on setting up WebDAV, see the Advanced Reporting Help.

The Video Player dialog box allows you to define the source of the video.

The following properties are available:

  • Source: Select one of the following:

    • Video streaming: Select this option to stream the video onto the iPhone or iPad, then complete the following:

      • Embed video HTML: Used for online live requests initiated by users. Type or copy the HTML needed to embed the video in a site. For example, the HTML for a MicroStrategy demo on YouTube is:

        <iframe width=560 height=315 src=//www.youtube.com/embed/AH4Z9fEybF8 frameborder=0 allowfullscreen/

      • Alternate download URL: Used for offline requests. Type the URL of the cache source that serves the full video file in the field.

    • Video download: Select this option to download the video onto the iPhone or iPad, then complete the following:
      • Video URL: Type or copy the URL needed to access the video.

  • Thumbnail

    • Video thumbnail URL: Used to display a thumbnail for the video. Type or copy the URL needed to access the thumbnail.

If the video is streamed but an alternate URL is not provided, the Video thumbnail URL field is not available.
