Anyway to embed the transcription along with the video?

Hello,

We would like the ability to include the transcription (as an option that could be enabled) along side the video in our Drupal pages via the oEmbed module which works great for just the video. Is it at all possible to do this in PeerTube? If not, could this be considered as an enhancement in the embed code going forward? When this option was announced for version 6.3.0 we were hoping that this would have been the case. We have a number of academic researchers who want to be able to utilize the transcripts of our oral histories archives and this is a feature that we are sorely missing.

Thank you,

Hi,

Can you provide a Drupal page example that uses oEmbed?

Let me see what I can provide that is open to the world that anyone can see.

Currently we are trying to stand up our Drupal system and as such most everything is behind firewalls. Here is a screenshot of what we have so far within our Drupal 10 system using the Drupal module oEmbed which is included in Drupal core and pointing to our current PeerTube 7.0.1 system.

Follow up post coming… (can’t upload more than one image per post).

Within Drupal the video shows as expected but is missing any controls that we would normally see within PeerTube itself as seen in this screenshot from PeerTube. Notably the ability to enable the Transcription.

Follow up post coming… (had to wait to be able to post again)

We would like to have the embed component show like the following when say a variable of « showtranscription » is set to true or 1.

Hope this helps.
-Brian.

Thanks, can you provide a screen of Drupal when you play the video?

Can you also post the URL of the peertube video?

Here’s a screenshot of the video when playing within Drupal:

The URL to this video is here: Test Video - Friday - ULS Media

Thanks, I misunderstood you. So I created a feature request to implement the transcription widget in the embed: Add transcription widget in embed · Issue #6866 · Chocobozzz/PeerTube · GitHub

Thank you.
