Channel Video Feed

Channel Video Feed displays specific videos from a channel by their video IDs. This feed type is perfect for scenarios where you want to hand-pick and showcase a curated set of videos from a particular channel.

Overview

The Channel Video Feed allows you to display one or more specific videos from a channel using their video IDs. Unlike the Channel Feed which shows all videos from a channel, this feed type gives you precise control over which videos appear, making it ideal for editorial picks, curated collections, or featured video showcases.

Usage

Required Parameters

channelId - Your encoded channel identifier (required, non-empty)
videoIds - List of video identifiers to display (required, non-empty list)

Programmatic Configuration

val videoFeedView = findViewById<FwVideoFeedView>(R.id.videoFeedView)

val videoIds = listOf("video_id_1", "video_id_2", "video_id_3")

val viewOptions = viewOptions {
    baseOptions {
        feedResource(
            FeedResource.ChannelVideo(
                channelId = "Your_Encoded_Channel_Id",
                videoIds = videoIds
            )
        )
    }
    layoutOptions {
        feedLayout(FeedLayout.HORIZONTAL)
    }
}

videoFeedView.init(viewOptions)
