In this article, we are going to explain to you how to upload content under the option "Media Library".

Go to Media Library > Images > then click on the Plus + sign > Add new Image

First of all, here are the dimensions of each image you may need to upload your images in Nunchee:

Every image uploaded to Nunchee will be stored immediately in the Library. You can always go back to the library to freely use the image again without the need of uploading it again.

An image can appear in a variety of forms, a banner, an icon, a backdrop, a poster, a medium horizontal, a square, and a medium vertical.

There are several aspects to be taken into consideration.

We recommend the following aspect ratio and resolution for each type available:

Example:

A type is only available as long as an image is at least 25% of the previous figures. This is the minimum size for each type of image that could be uploaded.

For example, if you want to use the Backdrop type for an image, you will need to upload an image with a minimum size of 400x225 px. Otherwise, the type will not be available.

By default, Nunchee compresses all images uploaded to save you some space, but there are also some free online tools that could help to reduce the file size before uploading them to Nunchee such as https://tinyjpg.com/ and https://tinypng.com/.

Please, if you have a plan in Nunchee where you will have Apps (iOS, Android, mobile devices), please follow this order of uploading images into the content, so it can be seen without any problems on all devices:

Go to "Media Library > Video and Audio Files" then click on the Plus + sign > Add new Video or Audio File

This way of uploading will count on your Storage quote in Nunchee.

2- In Video Type, select "Video" and enter an m3u8 URL. The structure of the link must be HLS standard and have an m3u8 extension. Its content needs to have SSL (HTTPS) as required by modern browsers to be reproduced.

This way of uploading will NOT count on your Storage quote in Nunchee, because it's is stored in another server.

3 - Embed Videos: You can upload embed video code. If you have other products in Nunchee (iOS, Android, or any Streaming boxes) it won't reproduce in those respective devices, only Web.

This way of uploading will NOT count on your Storage quote in Nunchee, because it's is stored in another server.

Nunchee tip: Whenever you want to create a video or image asset, be sure to add all types of tags and categories to the asset. The search would be made quicker and easier when you want to reuse the asset again.

Important notice: For every video you upload, you may upload a Thumbnail that will show up on your website when someone clicks on the content.

After uploading images and video, it's time to build your "Content", which is what we call when all the information are together (image, video with thumbnail, metadata, that will provide information about your content).

What is the difference between uploading a video in Content Manager and uploading a video in Media Library?

Great question! There is not a significant difference. Every asset uploaded in the Media Library will be available in the Content Manager and vice-versa. The main difference is that in the Content Manager, you must add all the metadata of that asset, while in the Media Library you just need to upload or attach the URL of the streaming video. You can create several Video content with the same URL after uploading it one time.
