Brightcove customers experiencing issues with Video Connect for WordPress may submit a ticket to the Support team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run the plugin on a WordPress install that isn't publicly accessible?

Yes, it will work whether it is public or not however features requiring a call-back to your site such as status updates, etc will be unavailable.

Are there any filters for plugin/theme developers?
  • brightcove_account_actions = [edit, delete]; - What actions are available when manipulating a Brightcove source.
  • brightcove_video_html - Filter the HTML output.
  • brightcove_account_actions - Filter the available actions for each source on the Brightcove admin settings page.
  • brightcove_api_callbacks - Filter the callback URLs passed for Dynamic Ingest requests.
  • brightcove_proxy_cache_time_in_seconds - Filter the length of time to cache proxied remote calls to the Brightcove API.
Will this work on multisite?

Yes it will.

Can I use more than one Brightcove account?

Yes, you can add sources from many Brightcove accounts if you want.

How does sync work?

The plugin simply pulls information directly from the Brightcove API for display and does not sync videos locally.

How can I increase Maximum upload file size?

Maximum file size is determined by your webserver and PHP configuration. You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini. php_ini_loaded_file() can help you find where your PHP.ini is located.

How do I add custom fields?

Custom fields must be created within your Brightcove Video Cloud account. Once created, the fields will be available within WordPress.

How do I enable change tracking so I can see who updated a video and when they did it?

Create a custom field of type 'text' with an internal name of '_change_history'. Whenever a video is updated, the username and current time will be added to a list of changes recorded in this field.

For nginx: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size (client_max_body_size) For apache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody (LimitRequestBody)

Audio Track Language Detection

The plugin has the ability to auto determine audio track language detection if the option has been enabled, based on the user browser language.

However, in order for it to work you need to make sure you have multiple audio tracks available in Brightcove Studio for the video you want to enable this option, otherwise, this feature won't work.

Support Level

Active: Brightcove is actively working on this, and we expect to continue work for the foreseeable future including keeping tested up to the most recent version of WordPress. Bug reports, feature requests, questions, and pull requests are welcome.
