This guide explains how to embed videos imported from an Infomaniak VOD service on web pages.
This code is unique and corresponds to the settings you are specifying at the moment. This allows you to embed the same video with different display configurations according to your needs. Therefore, you will need to update it on your website or wherever you use it, each time you make configuration changes on the Infomaniak Manager.
Copy the integration code
The integration code that allows you to insert your media at the desired location (blog, website, etc.) can be found in your VOD interface:
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge.
- Click on the icon in the top right corner of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu, for example).
- Choose VOD/AOD (Streaming universe).
- Click on the name of the relevant item in the displayed table.
- Click on Media in the left sidebar menu.
- Click on Media Management in the left sidebar menu.
- Click on the relevant media in the displayed table.
- Click on the blue Embed on my site button.
- The IFRAME code is located on the right side.
Paste the integration code
On the web page of your choice, e.g., Site Creator, paste the code at the desired location:
View the media on the page:
Necessary steps
Log into your control panel
Go to the information page for the media to be moved
Click on the Move Media button
Choose the destination folder.
This guide gives directions for correctly interpreting VOD/AOD statistics..
- Videos viewed: number of views of all videos
- Unique visitors: number of visitors with distinct IP addresses
Example: if two associates in the same company look at the same video, that is counted as 1 unique visitor and 2 visits.
Actions to be carried out
Log in to your administration panel
Visit your VOD space -> Media
Click on the video in question
Go to Information -> Cut
Adjust the desired starting point on the player at the top of the page
Click the button "Set start", the closest image key is then visible at the bottom left
Adjust the picture with the two provided buttons
Follow the same principle for the end of the video (visible at the bottom right)
Click on Clip the Video
A copy of the original video is kept for 14 days
Technically, the same video encoded in the same formats gives the same result, and so there is no point to start over the same operation tens or hundreds of times. The error isn't troublesome since the video is already present in the VOD space.
To avoid this message, all you need to do is to avoid sending the same video more than 10 times to the same directory. In case of a change, it is entirely possible to upload it again. It is also possible to send it to another directory.
This guide is about authentication tokens or tokens from Infomaniak, which are used to verify the identity of the application and grant it specific permissions to interact with Infomaniak's API functionalities and data securely.
Generate an Infomaniak API token
Authentication tokens or tokens are used to verify the identity of the application and grant it specific permissions to interact with the API functionalities and data securely.
To access the Infomaniak API, it is necessary to generate an access token. Its default duration is "unlimited" but it is possible to define a custom duration at its creation.
Attention, if no calls are made with the token for a year, it is automatically deactivated. It will then be necessary to generate a new one. There is no limit to the number of tokens you can create.
At the time of its creation, you will be able to choose the application and the scope accessible by the token (to correspond to your current need and project).
Add / retrieve a token
API keys are managed on this page of the Manager:
To do this:
- Click the blue Create a token button
- Choose the appropriate product from the drop-down menu according to your current need and project
- Choose a validity period
- Click the blue Create a token button
- Enter the Manager login password as requested
- Copy the token securely - it will no longer be accessible after that
Example of application: token for the Newsletter API
This guide explains how the consumption of VOD/AOD is calculated.
Calculating Consumption
Your monthly consumption is calculated based on the aggregation of two essential criteria. At the end of each billing period, two elements are automatically taken into account:
- disk space: this includes the amount of data stored in your space, including those in the trash
- bandwidth: this represents the bandwidth consumption over your monthly period (renewed on your due date)
The sum of these two values constitutes the total amount of your consumption for the specified period.
In addition, a remaining time indicator is provided to inform you of the number of days remaining until the next due date.
If the Allowed Quota is Exceeded
Several options are available to you:
- empty the trash: first, it is recommended to check if your trash is full; if you are sure that these files are no longer needed, emptying it can free up valuable space
- pay the overage cost: if you believe that the overage is temporary, you will need to pay the additional costs per consumed gigabyte; for more information on this, refer to the pricing page indicating the different overage costs according to the pack
- upgrade your plan: if you have more and more media or if they are widely accessed, you have the option to switch to a higher pack; contact our support service if your needs exceed our current offers; we will be happy to help you find the best solution to meet your request
