Embedding Video in servoy mails.

Classic Servoy
1

Hi All,

I need to embed the video file in the servoy mail . It will show a image of the video . On the click of the video it will run the video in the mail itself . Is it possible is servoy mail ?. The second option is we can run the video in a different browser. How to accomplish it ?. I was using the Iframe HTML tag . This is not working in the mails.

Please do help . It is urgent.

Thanks,
Ashutos.

if you know, howto do this in plain html, just place this plain html in your email-body… And Servoy will send this html to your senders…

It depends on the client email-software, how it will render, I know from experience that google-mail, Outlook, THunderbird, all have there own rules for html rendering of emails…
So this is not a Servoy issue, but how email-software renders HTML

Hi Harjo,

Thanks for your reply . Actually it is working fine in plain HTML .But when I am using this in servoy . It is not working . Can servoy cannot access a video file from web server ?.

Thanks,

What do you mean exactly with: IN Servoy?

are you showing this html inside a smartclient? webclient?
or are you sending it with Servoy, and than open it in Outlook?

Thanks,

oke as I said, this is not a problem of Servoy, but the limited rendering of HTML inside an email-client.
There are all kind of rules for sending HTML-emails, and are limited!!

google for the do’s and dont’s about HTML email, like this: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2011/05 … wsletters/

Hi Harjo,

Thanks for your reply . Now I would like to describe the complete scenario . The video files are stored in the amazon . When email is sent to the user these videos must be displayed in the mails. When clicking the video , the video must run there itself in the mail or in different browser. How to accomplish this ?.

Thanks is advance . waiting for your feedback

I 100% understand what you want! :?

but as I said: This has nothing to do with Servoy, but everything wat is possible to render in an email-client, like Outlook
As far as I know, using embedded video inside your email is not possible!. Outlook (and all other email-client) simply does not support that

just to reiterate harjo – this is not a servoy issue. servoy will send whatever content you specify via email. and html code that you write for websites doesn’t automatically work in email clients. in fact, writing html code for email delivery is almost a science unto itself. that’s what you need to research.
