Is there a way to turn off albums and images and only allow video embeds?

[cdub]

I have a unique situation where I will not have anyone uploading any images nor do I want albums.

I just want a place for people upload (or embed) their videos.

Can I turn off the image upload and the albums and only have the embed video?

That way when a user goes to "add media" the only option is to embed?

I've been playing around with it on the demo and I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Ok I must be blind but I don't see where I can share the album with people.

Just the same way I explained earlier.

Be viewing an album you created e.g.



In the sidebar, it lists the current Album Permissions (and the owner of the album). Click "Change Permissions".

It displays an overlay, set the add media drop down to "Custom Users..." (as pictured):



If you don't see the "Change Permission" link, make sure it is your own album and make sure you have permission to change album permissions.

As you're not using albums you may also want to remove the "Override media privacy" permission. In a default set up, this will be set due to the Moderator permissions under Admin CP > Users > Moderators > Your User Name > Uncheck: Override media privacy.

Bear in mind, though, as you have it set up at the moment if you log in as a normal user they won't see mention of albums anywhere at all.

I'm not seeing that checkmark in the path you posted.

Try:

Admin CP > Users > User Permissions > Your User Name > Set "Override media privacy" to "Not Set (No)".

Installed! Is there any way to change the url of the media page from /media/ to /films/ ?

Nevermind - figured it out.
