Brightcove selection user interface overview

Brightcove is integrated with the WCM user interface.

Select a video or playlist

After installing Brightcove, the authoring form of the File Resource Component or a File Resource element in a content items authoring template provides an option to choose from in the Brightcove Video Manager. If a user clicks Select, the Brightcove video management portlet starts in a new window that displays the videos from the Brightcove account that matches the read token. The user can select a video or playlist, or read the details of the selection. To preview a video, the browser must be able to display the uploaded file format.

Uploading a video

We can upload a new video. Click Upload. The video is not immediately available for playback on the website while Brightcove transcodes the video.

Start the video management user interface

With Launch Video Manager, the full Brightcove user interface can be started in a new browser tab to work with videos. We must log in with the Brightcove user ID and password.

Search

We can search videos with the search box by the video name, description and tags. We can also click a tag on the detail page of a video to search for other videos with that tag.

To search for terms that start with a letter sequence, use the * as wildcard, such as sam* to find sample.

Limitations and known issues

• The Video details view contains a preview of the video. This preview renders the originally uploaded video, and creates an error if the current browser does not support the video format.

• The Upload and Delete buttons do not display in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer does not support JSON return messages.

• Brightcove searches use word stemming by default. See Searching for videos in the media module.

• Playlists are not searchable.

• Tags in Brightcove do not synchronize with HCL WebSphere Portal and do not show up as tags in the portal.

• Page numbers do not immediately reflect additional video uploads.
