Abandon Legacy Views in Mediacast

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

ILIAS 8 implements three new presentation modes for mediacasts

• Videocast View for mp4/youtube/vimeo content: Improve Mediacast Video Presentation
• Image Gallery for png/jpg/gix images: Mediacast of Type Image Gallery
• Podcast View for mp3 audio files: Mediacast of Type Podcast

Thus the legacy list and tile views are abandoned. There is no automatic migration to the new views. You need to set a view manually. If you are using different media types in one mediacast you need to create a copy and set appropriate views for each one separately.
