## Description

OVHcloud Video Center wordpress plugin lets you upload, manage, and embed videos
to the OVHcloud Video Center platform — all without leaving WordPress.

**Key features:**

 * **Upload videos** with a progress bar directly from the admin dashboard.
 * **Manage videos** — list, search, edit titles & tags, and delete from a card-
   based grid.
 * **Embed videos** using shortcodes or the Gutenberg block editor.
 * **Classic Editor support** — TinyMCE toolbar button for easy shortcode insertion.
 * **Responsive player** — iframe embeds that adapt to any theme.
 * **Multipart upload** — files larger than 50 MB are uploaded using the multipart
   protocol for reliability.
 * **Secure** — nonce verification, capability checks, input sanitization, and masked
   API key storage.

**Shortcodes:**

 * `[ovhcloud_vc_gallery]` — Displays a YouTube-style mosaic of video poster thumbnails.
   Clicking a thumbnail opens the video in a modal player.
 * `[ovhcloud_vc_video id="vod_xxx"]` — Embeds a single video player.

**Gutenberg Block:**

The “OVHcloud Video Center” block provides a visual step-by-step editor experience:

 1. Choose an orientation (horizontal or vertical).
 2. Pick a video from a poster grid or configure a filtered video list.
 3. Live preview via server-side rendering.

### Manual installation

 1. Upload the `ovhcloud-video-center` folder to `wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Build the Gutenberg block (requires Node.js 18+):
     cd wp-content/plugins/ovhcloud-
    video-center/blocks/ovhcloud-video-center && npm install && npm run build
 3. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 4. Go to **OVHcloud Video Center  API Settings** and enter your API Key and Space 
    ID.
 5. Click **Test Connection** to verify your credentials.

### Source Code

The full uncompressed source code for the Gutenberg block (including JSX and CSS)
is located in the `blocks/ovhcloud-video-center/src/` directory of this plugin.

The compiled/minified files in `blocks/ovhcloud-video-center/build/` are generated
from that source using the `@wordpress/scripts` build tool.

To rebuild from source:

 1. Ensure Node.js 18+ and npm are installed.
 2. Navigate to `blocks/ovhcloud-video-center/`.
 3. Run `npm install` to install dependencies.
 4. Run `npm run build` to generate the production build.

The public source code repository is available at:
 https://github.com/ovh/ovhcloud-
video-center-wordpress-plugin

### External Services

This plugin relies on the **OVHcloud Video Center** third-party service to manage
and deliver video content. The OVHcloud Video Center API is required for the plugin
to function.

#### What the service is used for

The OVHcloud Video Center API is used to upload, list, edit, delete, and embed videos
hosted on OVHcloud’s video platform.

#### What data is sent and when

 * **API Key** — sent with every API request for authentication.
 * **Video files** — sent when you upload a video from the WordPress admin dashboard.
 * **Video metadata** (titles, tags) — sent when you create or edit a video.
 * **Requests to list or delete videos** — sent when you browse or manage videos
   from the admin.
 * **Embed requests** — when a visitor loads a page containing a video embed, their
   browser requests the video player iframe from OVHcloud’s embed servers (e.g. `
   embed.eu.videocenter.ovh.net`).

The API endpoint is configurable in the plugin settings (default: `https://api.eu.
videocenter.ovh.net`). No end-user personal data is collected or transmitted by 
this plugin beyond standard browser requests for the embedded player.

#### Service provider

This service is provided by **OVHcloud**:

 * [OVHcloud Terms of Service](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/terms-and-conditions/contracts/)
 * [OVHcloud Privacy Policy](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/terms-and-conditions/privacy-policy/)

## FAQ

### Where do I get my API Key and Space ID?

You can find them in your OVHcloud Video Center dashboard. The API Key is used for
authentication and the Space ID identifies your video workspace.

### What video formats are supported?

Almost all formats are supported since it relies on ffmpeg.

### What happens with large files?

Files larger than 50 MB are automatically uploaded using the multipart upload protocol,
which splits the file into parts for more reliable delivery.

### Can I filter videos by tags?

Yes. Use `[ovhcloud_vc_gallery tags="sport,music"]` to display only videos matching
specific tags (up to 5).

### Can I control the player behaviour?

Yes. The `[ovhcloud_vc_video]` shortcode supports these parameters:

 * `autoplay="true"` — auto-start playback
 * `loop="true"` — loop the video
 * `mute="true"` — start muted
 * `hide_title="true"` — hide the title overlay
 * `hide_controls="true"` — hide player controls

These are also available as toggles in the Gutenberg block sidebar.

### What roles can manage videos?

Only users with `administrator` or `editor` roles can upload, edit, and delete videos.
