Integrating video in Sanity using Mux Input and Vime/Youtube plugins

Last updated: Nov 28, 2022
Hey everyone! Whats the best way to integrate video? It seems the
mux-studio-plugin
has a lot of bugs currently (causes the studio to crash/I am unable to delete videos).. Perhaps its easiest to just have a field pointing to a URL and then pass that within a
video
tag?
fields: [
 {
   name: 'vimeoUrl',
   title: 'Vimeo Video URL',
   type: 'url'
 }
]

That is one possible way! But I will note that the Mux Input plugin got some love this week to address some of the issues it's had. The most recent version should perform better.

Hi, I’m using Vime for videos (YouTube, Vimeo or manually uploaded mp4 file).
Here’s the schema of the object:

import { TbBrandVimeo } from "react-icons/tb";
import React from 'react';
import getVideoId from 'get-video-id'
import { Vimeo, Player } from '@vime/react';

const VimeoPreview = ({value}) => {
  const { url } = value;
  const id = getVideoId(typeof url === 'string' ? url : '')?.id;
  if (!value || !url || !id){
    return <div>Vimeo Video (double click to add URL)</div>
  }
  return (
    <div id="vimeo-container">
      <Player controls>
        <Vimeo videoId={id} />
      </Player>
    </div>
  );
}

export default {
  name: 'vimeo',
  title: 'Vimeo',
  type: 'object',
  icon: TbBrandVimeo,
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'url',
      type: 'url',
      title: 'Vimeo video URL'
    }
  ],
  preview: {
  	select: {
  		url: 'url'
  	},
  	component: VimeoPreview
  }
}
You need to install:

@vime/core
@vime/react
get-video-id
For YouTube just replace “Vimeo” with “Youtube”

const components = {
  types: {
    image: ({ value }: { value: ImageWithAlt }) => {
      return (
        <Image src={value} width={400} quality={1} style={{ borderRadius: 12 }} height={225} />
      );
    },
  },
  video: ({ node }: MediaProps) => {
    const { url } = node;
    const id = getYouTubeId(url);
    console.log('get youtube id -> ', id)

    return (
      <div style={{ display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
        <p> video rendered here</p>
        <YouTube videoId={id ?? undefined} opts={youtubeOptions} />
      </div>
    );
  },
};

function PortableText({ value }: PortableTextProps) {
  console.log('value -> ', value)
  return <OriginalPortableText value={value} components={components} />;
}

export default PortableText;

does that still work for you with the v3? I don't see any preview with that code 🤔

Works fine for me. If you manually paste a random youtube iframe embed code instead of the video-container code from above, does that show for you in the preview?

neither a Youtube URL nor a Youtube iframe actually, nothing shows up haha
