Remote resource in OPF manifest

    How can I add a remote resource link to the OPF manifest of an epub3?

    This is the background of my question:
    I would like to embed some videos without including the large video files in the epub. The videos are 'extra contents', not really the core of my publication, so if readers/watchers don't have an internet connection, it's not a catastrophe. This is easily done with the 'Smart Object' and works well when I export the publication as an iOS app. For an epub you'll also have to set the OPF Properties of the page that embeds the video to 'remote-resources', which is also easily done in Pubcoder. Yet, the links to the resources need also be included in the OPF manifest. I don't see how I can edit or otherwise change the manifest in Pubcoder. But maybe I overlook something.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards,
    Bram

    Hi Bram,

    at present there is no way to do so, will address the team on how to add this feature. Meanwhile my suggestion is to do that directly in the EPUB output once you are ready to publish, as this should be done for mere validity purposes.
