<h3>About</h3>

<li>Initialize Convertion</li>
<li>Receive Webhook when conversion completes</li>
<li>Thumbnails and update</li>

</ul>
<h3>Not included</h3>
<ul>
<li>Upload from Dropbox which we normally support in SpareVideos UI</li>
<li>Custom player setup fetching signed streamable URLs from the API</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Install and activate the plugin after you open an account with SpareVideos.com Copy and fill in the settings page of the plugin with the API credentials</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Start uploading and embedding videos from your Media Manager and give access to specific roles to also use the plugin</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instead of embedding in posts and pages you can also use the “Make Video Page” button to set the video in the meta tags of the page/post.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Then use the following PHP code anywhere in the template to show the player with the video you selected to Make Video Page:</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>echo do_shortcode(‘[sparevideos]’);</strong></p>
<h3>About “Make Video Page”</h3>
<p>By selecting a video (uploaded in THAT specific post/page) you have an extra option/button, that of “Make Video Page”, which puts the selected video in the meta tags of the post/page. The filter which converts shortcodes in text into javascript code (embedding video player in other words) doesn’t work for the video saved in meta tags. What embeds the video player into the selected position in the template instead, is the php code here above mentioned. That code fetched the video sved in metas and converts it to embedded player in that position.</p>

<li>FFmpeg and HTML5 codecs are required to generate snapshots, preview clips and convert videos to HTML5 formats. Latest FFmpeg is recommended with video & audio codecs for HTML5 & video types you plan to upload.</li>
<li>Conversions require important resources like CPU time, memory, long process time (not available on budget shared hosting). These must be available and enabled for the account processes.</li>
<li>High upload size and script timeout limits on web host to allow uploading bigger files. Importing videos (uploaded with FTP or other tools) is recommended for very big files.</li>

<li>Optionally, to deliver videos as live streaming a server like Wowza SE is required that will provide access at a HLS address from video path.</li>
<li>Optionally, plugin can also generate static HLS segments, using extra disk space and initial processing resources. </li>
