Video selector | MVC

The video selector enables you to display and retrieve one or several selected videos.

Using the video selector, you can:

• Select and deselect videos
• Select one or multiple videos
• Upload videos by either selecting them from a list, or using drag and drop
• Search for videos in the currently opened library or in all libraries
• Select the provider from which to retrieve videos
• Filter videos by Libraries, Categories, Tags, or Dates
• Sort videos by Title, Date created, or Date modified

NOTE: You can change the video selector's behavior by editing the widget's properties in the Advanced settings section.

The videos you select are stored in a scope array variable. The default template visualizes videos using the sfCollection directive. For more information, see Use a generic collection directive.

You can use the video selector in the frontend, as well as in the backend. For example, on a page, as well as in a widget designer.

The sfVideoSelector is a directive with an isolated scope that is defined in a module with the same name: sfVideoSelector.

In your DesignerView.YourView.cshtml file, place one of the following tags anywhere in the HTML code:

The values of the attributes are scope properties that you define in the MVC widget controller.
