This plugin has lots of advantages over the default Ziggeo plugin and manual HTML embeddings, including support for the latest Ziggeo API version, WebRTC, responsive player and recorder embeds and lots of other Ziggeo features like:
Support for all Ziggeo themes selection
Options to allow Uploading, Recording or Both
Optional initial video values for recorders
Autoplay
Disabling video playback controls (pause, seeking, fullscreen)
Automatically playback on fullscreen on mobile
Flash support option in case WebRTC is not available
Autorecord
(Dis)allow re-recordings
(Dis)allow snapshot selection
Max recordings
Video (min & max) time limits
Custom countdown time
(De)activation of face outline
Set expiration days for automatic deletion of your Ziggeo videos
Audio only recordings, without video
Send meta data like recordingās Title & Description to Ziggeo
Simulate recordings that are not saved to Ziggeo (i.e. for testing or demo purposes)
Lazyloading
Pre-loading videos
With this plugin you also get access to a Events and Actions for Ziggeo players and recorders for use in Workflows like:
Do when video playing, paused, ended (player events)
Do when recorder video is recording, uploading, uploaded, verified and reset input values (recorder events)
Iām currenlty achieving the main features youāve outlined with html , js and itās hacky but works. Iām keen to have a more polished hardened solution ā¦ couple of questions:
What version of the ziggeo api are you using . Ziggeo has issues with Edge browser under thier own volition. Does yours support edge?
Audio only. This should support desktop, iOS and Android . Can you confirm.
There is a general issue with bubble and itās elements that when changing screen size ( orientation) everything gets refreshed. Is this the case with you plugin also.
If you can let me know . If in fact these are resolved by your plugin Iāll subscribe and post an update here for the commmnity
Edge doesnāt support webrtc and therefore uses flash, some incognito browsers do use flash too for that reason. Thereās an option to support flash in these cases in our plugin which makes the embed work fine on these browsers too.
Hereās Ziggeoās point of view on this matter:
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge do not support WebRTC. They have a less popular variant created by Microsoft which Edge uses called ORTC, as such our player and recorder will fallback to Flash and the reason why you are seeing that message.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to not use Flash on them at this time.
Ziggeo uses mobile deviceās native camera apps to record audio only in mobile browsers, which is something we canāt change. Ziggeo mentioned on their forums they are working on a better audio only feature.
Since Bubble refreshes pages when changing orientation it also refreshes our pluginās elements.
Iāve installed the plugin, are there help guides or documentation for it? Iām struggling with some of the features (like autobinding, not sure what datafield type I should hook it up to). Rather than asking a bunch of questions on here Iād rather refer to that first!
Thanks for putting the work in to create the plugin
That is correct, we currently support WebRTC and Flash - WebRTC being preferred over Flash by our system. We are however working on utilizing the WebRTC aspects of ORTC (since it is a fairly similar yet not directly compatible version of the same technology) so soon we would be supporting it, making only IE 11 and lower IE version would use Flash.
In regards to audio only, just to add - if you have sound recording app that registers itself on the Android system, it is possible to get the sound recorder as an additional option when you click record and be able to just record sound however as our system accepts only videos at this time (so audio only will be updated this year) that would likely not work, so it is safer to presume it not working on mobile devices without actually using the camera - this of course as said above will be updated in near future
Another thing to add is that @bubblify plugin is utilizing our v2 player and v2 recorder, not v1 that is used by official Bubble plugin. V2 is completely written by our engineers with mobile / responsiveness in mind.
HI @paul4 and other users. Ziggeo offers a ton of options and we tried to integrate as many as possible in this plugin. However, itās clear that some proper documentation is necessary because of the many options and names and descriptions of those options. We will publish proper documentation within 3 days, probably today already, and notify you here on the forum when itās available. Hope that helps.
Thanks for using our plugin and please notify us when you experience problems with the plugin or got any feature requests.
Ziggeo supports a paramater called expiration-days:
expiration-days [ int ]
After how many days should video automatically be deleted? (disabled by default)
Setting a value here means the video will be automatically deleted from your Ziggeo account, providing you got the āAutomatically delete expired videosā option enabled in the āAuthorization Settingsā tab of your Ziggeo applicationās settings.
Needless to say we will include this in our upcoming documentation too.
Thanks for using our plugin! Please contact us with any other questions.
@bubblify, Iām loving the plugin so far and look forward to the instructions. I have made a form where people upload a video, this then updates a field with a list of the uploaded fields with that record. Itās all working fine and you can see the videos already uploaded but when you upload a new video the preview for that one says āvideo not availableā or something. Any ideas why?
Not 100% sure, but this is probably because the video is still being processed by Ziggeo then. After verifying the video Ziggeo starts processing it and when the processing is completed it should be available for playback. Please check if the video is still ānot availableā after the processing by Ziggeo has finished.
Ok, thenks, maybe thatās it. Iāve done a workaround now anyway using counts instead as it was getting a bit cluttered.
Next question!! Iām struggling a bit with the themes, it seems a bit hit and miss. Is there a set size that the element should be for a best result? And is there any way I can style it myself? Iām using the upload only option at the moment so it would be good if I could use a normal button instead.
You can try custom styles here on their styling sandbox. Not sure where to add that custom css to your Bubble application, but in the settings under SEO&Metatags -> Advanced settings -> scripts in header might do the trick. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Great work guys, maybe a bit on the expensive sideā¦ I would pay for it though if you supported fetching video direct download links. I just spoke to Ziggeo and they support this in the API. What say you?
You should be able to subscribe to the plugin through the plugin store.
Your account will be charged by Bubble according to your subscription plan: If you have a yearly or monthly paid plan for your Bubble application, the plugin will be charged for a year or month respectively too. Subscriptions can be canceled anytime of course.
So i installed this plugin and all was well for about 5 minā¦ but then it stopped working. Nothing shows up on the screen anymore? Do you have any ideas on what to check when nothing shows upā¦ especially after it did work for a few min.
Did you check the documentation and make sure your settings arenāt the cause that a player or recorder is not showing on the frontend anymore? It seems that your settings are causing this, because the plugin canāt just āstop workingā. Please elaborate on the issue if you still need help, so we can provide effective support. For example, which element is not displaying, and where? Maybe you can provide access to a (temporary) app where we can see the issue? Thanks.
