Video and audio section (of case page) about icc-alpha HOT 6 CLOSED

Need clarification on point 2 -- "Replace videos with thumbnails."
Currently we are displaying embedded video and also thumbnail. Video can be viewed in full screen mode and also have sound controls in embedded video display. Thumbnail is just a picture. If we replace video by thumbnail, how users will view the video?

The point 3 - Add the link below to "See all video and audio from this case" is now implemented on the Case page.

It needs to be an image thumbnail with a link to the video (image is a link and title is a link) which will play on a separate page. So you can't play the video on the case page - only after clicking on the link and going to the page with the video on it. This approach is pretty standard (see YouTube, Guardian, etc) because (I would venture) it leads to greater consistency of experience across context and device.

Just adding that you can get the YouTube thumbnail using the following format:

http://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/#.jpg

So for the top example on the Lubanga page:

Hope that helps.

Hi Rob, Thanks for info. Now I have modified the code on Case page -- http://sharepoint13vm.cloudapp.net/sites/icc/drc/lubanga/ to dynamically generate the Youtube thumbnail as:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/hqdefault.jpg
And image and Title are links to Actual Embed Video URL (also generated dynamically) which is now shown in new page. Pls review and close the issue if all is ok. Thanks.

Great. I think this works for now - until we have more detail about the multimedia section. Closing this issue.
