Hello all,
I just finished the news aggregator tutorial and wanted to expand on it by allowing users to set the article images/thumbnails to videos as an exercise to myself.
I found out pretty quickly that the Image form isn’t able to show video files coming from a data table so I looked around the forum and tried this answer (using an endpoint to request the file url etc…):
I didn’t manage to actually do any of the html though (my knowledge is limited in that area).
If any of you know of a straightforward way of showing a video on page, I would love an explanation !
Thank you for the PoC @divyeshlakhotia !
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to make it work.
Opening the app I saw a notification saying some features were for payed memberships only…
The app still ran with no errors so I tried implementing it in a similar way but I think I am missing some things.
What are these lines for ?
import anvil.js
from anvil.js.window import document
Hello there. I haven’t been able to get this solution to work in my app. I grabbed the code from both the video form and the Form1 form. I set the video form to be a component and used it as a component. The video player frame does not show up on both the video form as well as the Form1 form.
When I run my app, I get the following error:
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘src’ at [video, line 22](javascript:void(0)) called from [Form1, line 22](javascript:void(0))
Can someone please help me? What is baffling me is I copy-pasted the code verbatim into my new app. So what am I missing?
Aaah…ok , i cracked it. After digging around I realized that I needed to choose ‘Custom HTML’ in the Design tab > Properties. I pasted this code in the custom HTML editor and it worked.
