Use a third-party video player in media galleries 

Use your preferred third-party video player to view media gallery video files. This is optional.

Procedure

1. Create a .ear file that declares and OSGi extension. To see an example, download this sample .ear file by right-clicking the following link: CustomVideoPlayer.ear
   Note: For additional information about creating an IBM Websphere Application Server OSGi extension, see the WAS documentation about plugin.xml.
   

2. In javascript, make sure the following variable is set to the name of a constructor function (dojo class) that will create an object with a single member function:
   

   quickr.lw.config.media.videoPlayer

   For example:

    myCustomVideoPlayer_playVideo = function (node, store, item, width, height) {
    
   // Include dom code to render video player here
    
   }
    
   function myCustomVideoPlayer = function () {
    
   // Initialize member variables if necessary
    
   }
    
   myCustomVideoPlayer.prototype.playVideo = myCustomVideoPlayer_playVideo

   
   

3. Finally, you would set the configuration variable to the name of your constructor:
   

   quickr.lw.config.media.VideoPlayer = "myCustomVideoPlayer";

   
   

4. Install the custom player EAR on the IBM Connections server that contains News.ear.
