Yes, it's possible to embed a video into a form view in Odoo. You can achieve this by using the iframe HTML tag within the form view. Here's how you can embed a video, such as a YouTube or local video, into a form view in Odoo:

Steps to Embed a Video in a Form View

1. Add a Char or URL Field to Your Model

If you want the video URL to be dynamic (e.g., a YouTube video URL), add a field to your model to store the video link.

Example:

from odoo import models, fields

class YourModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'your.model'

    video_url = fields.Char(string="Video URL", help="Enter the video URL to embed")

2. Update the Form View XML

Modify the form view to include an iframe tag or video embed logic. Use the video_url field to load the video dynamically.

Example XML:

<record id="view_form_your_model" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">your.model.form</field>
    <field name="model">your.model</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form>
            <sheet>
                <group>
                    <field name="name"/>
                    <field name="video_url"/>
                </group>
                <group>
                    <div t-if="record.video_url.raw_value" style="margin-top: 20px;">
                        <iframe t-att-src="record.video_url.raw_value"
                                width="560"
                                height="315"
                                frameborder="0"
                                allowfullscreen>
                        </iframe>
                    </div>
                </group>
            </sheet>
        </form>
    </field>
</record>
  • Key Points:
    • t-if="record.video_url.raw_value" ensures the video is displayed only if a URL is provided.
    • t-att-src="record.video_url.raw_value" dynamically sets the src attribute of the iframe to the value of the video_url field.

3. Testing

  1. Navigate to the corresponding form view for your model in Odoo.
  2. Enter a video URL (e.g., a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID).
  3. Save the record, and the video should appear embedded in the form view.

Alternative: Embed a Hardcoded Video

If you don’t need dynamic video URLs and want to embed a static video, you can directly include the iframe in the XML without using a field:

Example:

<group>
    <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" 
            width="560" 
            height="315" 
            frameborder="0" 
            allowfullscreen>
    </iframe>
</group>

4. Security Considerations

  • Ensure the video URL comes from a trusted source to prevent embedding malicious content.
  • If users enter the video URL manually, validate it using Odoo's @api.constrains or custom validation logic in the model.

Example Validation:

from odoo.exceptions import ValidationError

@api.constrains('video_url')
def _check_video_url(self):
    for record in self:
        if record.video_url and not record.video_url.startswith("https://www.youtube.com/embed/"):
            raise ValidationError("Please provide a valid YouTube embed URL.")

5. Embedding a Local Video

If the video is hosted locally or within Odoo, you can use the file or binary field and render it using an HTML <video> tag.

Example:

  • Add a Binary field:
    video_file = fields.Binary(string="Video File")
    
  • Update the XML view:
    <group>
        <video t-if="record.video_file.raw_value" controls width="560" height="315">
            <source t-att-src="'data:video/mp4;base64,%s' % record.video_file.raw_value" type="video/mp4"/>
            Your browser does not support the video tag.
        </video>
    </group>
    

By following the steps above, you can easily embed videos into form views in Odoo for dynamic or static content. Let me know if you need further assistance!

I appreciate Mitul, for the link you've shared. Unfortunately I'm not looking for that solution, that I know already, that how to embed in website page. My question is how to embed video on form view, which is comes in odoo back end web part. I hope now my question is clear to you. Anyway, thanks.

Were you able to make progress in this. I am using odoo 17 and still there is no way to embed a video in the backend webpart.
