Project DescriptionUtilizes the Bright Cove media API to enable Chameleon style Community Server controls in customized versions of Community Server platform from Telligent.
Developed in C#.
*Neither Bright Cove nor Telligent are currently contributors to this project.
This release provides a file viewer for Community Server 2008.5 for Bright Cove based videos. It additionally includes chameleon controls for working directly against the Bright Cove Media API, a widget that utilizes those controls, and basic Media API interactions based on Bright Cove documentation (but updated to work).
The Chameleon Controls:
Within a blog post list you can utilize a bright cove video data control to get properties of the video embedded in the post (in this context, the linkto can be to the post):
LinkTo Types:
Video – The bc hosted video URL
FlashDownload – the flv download url
Nothing – no link on item
VideoThumbnail – The thumbnail image hosted at bc (use the image control to actually display the image)
VideoStill – the still image hosted at bc (use the image control to display)
Link – The external link associated with the video (configured at bc)
Post - *ONLY WORKS WHEN A CS POST IS IN CONTEXT – links to the CS post in which the video is embedded.
<BrightCoveControl:BrightCoveVideoData LinkTo="Post" runat="server" Property="ShortDescription"
Tag="P" />
2. Within a blog post list you can use a bc video image control to get thumbnail or still images from the embedded post (image types are thumbnail and still:
<BrightCoveControl:BrightCoveVideoImage runat="server" ImageType="Thumbnail" />
3. You can create a list of bright-cove videos which will pull data directly from brightcove:
Query Types:

<BrightCoveControl:BrightCoveVideoList runat="server">
<QueryOverrides runat="server" PageSize="5" QueryType="All" SortBy="PUBLISH_DATE"></QueryOverrides>
<HeaderTemplate><ul></HeaderTemplate>
