Server Addon Dailymotion

Server Addon: Dailymotion

Description

Videos hosted on Dailymotion.

When to choose it: Sites using Dailymotion rather than YouTube.

How to Access

Components → Proclaim → Servers → New, then choose Dailymotion in the server type picker.

Note

The server type cannot be changed after the server is created. To switch platforms later, create a new server and move media across with Administration → Server Migration.

Set Up the Server

No credentials are needed. Name the server and save.

Add a Media File

1. Paste the Dailymotion video URL.
2. Set playback options — mute, start time, loop, scaling.
3. Save & Close.

No credentials needed

This addon has no API key or OAuth level. Paste a URL and it works.

Display settings shared by every addon

Every server type also carries the same block of display settings — player choice, popup behaviour, the media button's text, colour, icon and size, and the image shown beside it. They work the same way whichever addon you pick, and are documented on Help-server and Help-mediafile.
