Hi Everyone!
I have been struggling for a few days to find the best combinations of components for my company’s subscription educational video service outside of the Wix Video option – which won’t work based on what you will see below. Here’s what I have so far:
- a video library hosted in AWS’s S3 and distributed through Cloudfront URL’s
- files in both .mp4 and HLS format
- a dynamic page connected to a dataset that inlcludes several fields which are mostly text based and one field that I have setup as URL where I plan to put these links I’ve created
I have tried to embed the javascript player - Playable (https://wix.github.io/playable/) in the dynamic page in order to play the videos, but I have the problem of not knowing how to use the same video player fixed on the page while changing the video source on every subsequent page (via the link from database/dataset).
I am up for any good suggestions - even different video players (like Wix’s) or other suggestions that would make this workflow easier. Each of the video players that were available in the Wix Market would not let me use these links dynamically, as far as I can tell. The reason I would like to use dynamic pages is because we have several pieces of data that go along with each video and we ultimately will have about 650 videos so having to recreate each page sounds daunting and I know there must be a way to make this work!
Thank you in advance!
