How to include a Youtube video in a QlikView document

[danialier]

Hi,

I have a QlikView document where I want to include a video from Youtube. However, rather than providing the link to the Youtube video in a text box, i want the Youtube video to be directly showed in the QlikView document.

Is that possible ?

Thanks,

dani

Hi, Dani.

I haven't tried it myself but I think you can use the Bundle function to hold videos within the .qvw but anything you do hold will significantly increase the file size of your app.

Hi Neil,

What do you mean about "bundle function" ?

Hi Dani,

I copied a file from the Qlikview Demo site and made changes to suit what I needed.

I have started building a Qlikview file that will eventually hold 178 Youtube tutorials about Qlikview

Hope that helps

Hi Dani,

Press CTRL + Q S C in the Script Editor and you will see there are shortcuts to generate code to use Bundle

Hi Alan,

Can you share the QV file you're talking about ?

That is going to be one huge file!

Hi, Dani.

There is a 'Bundle' function that can be added to the Load statement. Bundle Load statement allows you to load image and video files directly into your QlikView application. Have a look at the Help menu for a brief description.

Alternatively, look at www.ASKQV.com for examples from QLikView blogs or search this forum.

Cheers,

Neil

Hi Dani,

Here is the attached file, I basically just took the file and added an Inline table with the data about my videos, I use this only for my own purposes

And btw I only have 2 videos on their, I will need to add the other 176 videos for the file to be of any benefit
