AEM Sites Remote DAM Asset Selector video support and metadata search

Hi All,


We have migrated from a 3rd party DAM provider to AEM Assets

We are now replacing the 3rd party dependency and package by changing the sling:resourceType FROM custom path "/apps/3rdparty-connector/core/ui/components/content/custom-pathfield" TO sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload".

Our Sites Program and Assets Program are different and hence need to be connected via Remote DAM Asset Selector. To do so, we have added the configuration "com.adobe.cq.ui.wcm.commons.internal.services.NextGenDynamicMediaConfigImpl.cfg.json" to connect to remote DAM Instance.

We are able to connect to DAM Instance and using remote option for image selection able to select the image and display it in our pages. (Delivery URL Sample - https://delivery-p0000001-e0000002.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:00099990-0001-46f7-9a19-f0csd229b0d2d/as/test.png)
 

However, we are missing few things.
1. Ability to filter assets other than images (Videos are not supported)
2. Metadata based search for assets.


How do we customize this view to include folder-wise view vs a flattened structure?
File Type filter extending beyond “images” to include “videos”.

 

Thanks in advance,

NK
