Does anyone know the simplest way to make Wix Videos searchable (by title, and category or tags?) as well as sorted by newest to oldest? I’m essentially trying to have a navigation and search similar to YouTube channel pages for the videos on our members only pages (See screenshot of our YouTube channel to see the “search” and “sort by” that I’m trying to recreate). I’m thinking of just using Wix Video with Vimeo links. Is this something that I’ll have to code or is there a simpler way that I’m missing? TIA! ~Shan
Hello!
You can make a database and connect a single video element (not wix videos. That won’t work.). Then, you can try making your search bar through corvid.

Note: this is advanced stuff & you might need some help for this.
~Hope this helps!~

Thank you Arthur! So every single video I upload, I’ll have to add it to a database every time as well, I’m guessing? I have about 500+ videos and we upload 5 new ones every week. That’s going to take some time. Do you know if Wix Videos has any possible feature for search coming in the future?
Thanks!

Actually, they already do! Lucky you!
If you select the classic layout in Wix videos…
The classic layout is at the top right.
Then, you will get your search bar!
Just to let you know, this is not corvid related content. This forum is only for corvid related topics. If you are new to corvid, then use this method. I would recommend creating your own search bar as you can customise it and control how you want the search bar to search. If you need any help on this topic(corvid related), please don’t hesitate to ask. If you want more help on something not corvid related, please visit: https://support.wix.com/en/

Hello!
I found a super easy to follow tutorial on how to create a search bar!

You can skip the first 2 minutes & 30 seconds because before that, he is just talking and about 2:40 is when the tutorial starts. You only need to write about 6 lines of easy code! Please try this out!

Hello together,
additional to Arthur good suggestions, i want expand this a little bit more, to show, what is possible. You will see there are a lot of opertunities/possibilities, how you can reach your aim.
But all these examples will have one thing which is similar to all ----> a DATABASE. As Arthur already has mentioned it, you should use/create your own “Video-Database”, or use the “Wix-Video-Plugin” as shown by Arthur, which has already his own integrated data-collection.
All these possibilities you can see in this example here…

But there are also some differences.
-
When you choose the “Ready2Go”-solutions like —> “Wix-Videoplayer-classic” for example, you can just use the offered options of the current app.
-
If you decide to programm a custom version of your own generated Video-Player, of course you will have much more options/possibilities to create your individual vide-player, with individual functionalities.
Yep. You are correct @russian-dima ! Try to create your own custom video player RC Powers. You will have more options to customise it that way.
Thank you for this!
@arthurvalatin Thank you so much!!!
