Tags and parameters

oui_ted vs oui_player

While the <txp:oui_player /> tag is able to embed any video from any extension-related provider, the <txp:oui_ted /> tag is a shortcut to embed Ted videos only. It is strictly equivalent to <txp:oui_player provider="ted" />.

Check the oui_player documentation for more informations.

Recognised values for the play attribute

When using the oui_player tag (vs oui_ted), the right provider needs to be set if the play value or its field related one is an ID. It is optional, but can fasten the rendering, if the value is an URL.

Player customization

Preferences vs attributes

While some player customization elements, related to the media to play, should be used through attributes, these used as global settings should preferrably be set through the plugin preferences to avoid a massive use of tag attributes.

Of course, it is still possible to override a preference value via an attribute when needed.

Size
width

Integer; initially set to 854.
The width of the player in pixels.

height

Integer; initially not set.
The height of the player in pixels.

ratio

Integer:integer; initially set to 16:9.
The ratio used to calculate the missing value for the width or the height.

responsive

true or false; initially set to false.
Adapts the final player size from the provided width and/or height and/or ratio values to fit the container width.
Wraps the player and adds some styles.

Parameters (a→z)
lang

ISO_639-1 code; initially not set.
Set the subtitles language.

oui_if_ted vs oui_if_player

While the <txp:oui_if_player>…</txp:oui_if_player> tag is able to check an URL against any URL from any extension-related provider, the <txp:oui_if_ted>…</txp:oui_if_ted> tag is a shortcut to check an URL against Ted related URL schemes only. It is strictly equivalent to <txp:oui_if_player provider="ted">…</txp:oui_if_player>.

Check the oui_player documentation for more informations.
