Installation

gem 'alchemy-richmedia-essences', github: 'AlchemyCMS/alchemy-richmedia-essences'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Usage

1) After installing or updating, prepare your database with:

$ rake alchemy_richmedia_essences:install:migrations db:migrate

2) In your elements.yml add one of these essences to your element of choice.

# elements.yml
- name: video
  contents:
  - name: video
    type: EssenceVideo

- name: audio
  contents:
  - name: audio
    type: EssenceAudio

Player customization

This plugin just provides HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags and no styling at all. The players will appear as the browser vendors provide.

If you want a cross browser and customizable player with Flash® fallback, then we strongly recommend something like http://mediaelementjs.com/

There is even a gem https://github.com/tobsch/mediaelement_rails that provides everthing for the Rails' asset pipeline.
