I was trying to follow the FF video tutorial on setting up a Mux example but ran into issues mainly with the changes to the FF interface.
As a result, im trying to troubleshoot the passing of page variables and getting pretty frustrated. I simply wanted to display the Video Path it has passed, but FF is not letting me bind the video path variable parameter to the Text Widget for display.
This led to a number of other similar attempts:
- passing the URL as a second string parameter.. failed as it wont bind to string type
- using a code statement inside of the text widget.. failed because it doesn't recognize video path
- creating a custom function - cant recall why that failed but it also failed
Questions:
1 - what is the way to display this variable that i dont understand? I keep finding article references claiming i should be able to treat the Video Path as a normal string, but that's not accurate
2 - is there any benefit to this Video Path parameter that I should know about? Would i better off to just convert my firebase data types to string instead?
3 - is there an updated Mux walkthrough that demonstrates the display of current and old videos Ive posted to Mux?
