Adding a Video Content Type

If the newsroom stories to be imported to a publication will include video, then the publication's content-type resource must contain a suitable content type. For example:

<content-type name="video">
          <parameter name="com.escenic.video" value="true"/>
          <ui:icon>graphic</ui:icon>
          <ui:label>External video</ui:label>
          <ui:title-field>title</ui:title-field>
          <panel name="main">
          <field name="title" type="basic"/>
              <field name="video" type="basic" mime-type="application/json">
            <video xmlns="http://xmlns.escenic.com/2010/video" enabled="true"/>
            </field>
            </panel>
          </content-type>

The important points to note are highlighted in the example:

A video content type must at least have the following:

• The content type must have a parameter element called com.escenic.video that is set to true

• It must also have a basic field with:

  • mime-type set to application/json

  • a video sub-element with a value attribute set to true. This element must belong to the namespace http://xmlns.escenic.com/2010/video.
