Rendering video url on updates of an item - graphql

[danieln (daniel)]

Hi,

in similarity to this post:

Rendering image url on updates of an item - graphql

Hey all, I am able to create new item and to push to it an update, in form of a string. While inserting the string, I include to the update an image’s url as well: [image] I wonder if there is a way to make the image to render, instead of showing the url itself? Regards :_)

i’m now trying to create the same thing just with video.

I’m attempting to push the following into the item updates:
1 \n\n<u>Attached video</u>:\n <video src='${req.body.mediaLink}' controls />;
and it works, besides the video itself, there’s no trace of it. The result :

as you can see, everything’s included but the video, yet, when I am doing:
1 \n\n<u>Attached screenshot</u>:\n <img src='${req.body.mediaLink}' />;

it works and renders the image.

any ideas?

Hi @danieln,

Could you please let me know what you mean by video trace? What is the expected behavior?

[danieln (daniel)]

The expected behavior is to show embedded video in the update, similar to img, just with the possibility of playing it. In conclusion, similar action to <video></video> in html.

Hi @danieln,

You can use our Add file to Update mutation:

mutation {
    add_file_to_update (update_id: 17, $file: File!) {
        id
    }
}
