Where video files must be?

[carpajr]

Hello Martignoni,

Maybe it is a silly question. I'm using Hugo for a few days, and I've installed the plugin that you have made.

I tried to put a video inside public/images, public/media, static/media, and variations, and I always have the same result:

Building sites... ERROR 2020/04/12 23:55:40 No file with filename "media/conan_1" found.

At content/posts/my-post.md I put: {{< video src="media/conan_1" loop="true" >}}

The file name is conan_1.mp4 (Conan is related to conan.io)

How is the correct way to assign videos? Could you help me?

Thank you for the plugin.

You should place it in the page bundle, as the shortcode uses Hugo Page Resources.

I was able to use hugo-video after see how page bundle works Thank you very much.

for those who may still be confused after reading the page bundle, I encountered this issue when trying to put a bunch of pages in one directory.

i was trying to make a header page with a bunch of subpages. the solution was to move a subpage markdown file to its own directory, name it index.md, and put the video in that directory. something like

content/en/docs/
├── python/
│   ├── _index.md # this is just a page that shows links to other pages here, since python serves as a sort of category
│   ├── function-writing.md
│   ├── class-creation.md
│   ├── pip-install.md
│   └── my-video.mp4

so I wanted class-creation.md to play a video, but this wasn't working since it wasn't named index.md. i decided to create its own subdir in python/ and move class-creation.md to that subdir, and name it index.md, and move the video there with it. then it worked
