New digital asset content types, Thumbnail–centric views, Image previews, Automatic metadata extraction for image files, Podcasting support through RSS – You must be wondering what’s this? J Quite obvious! These are all the features of asset library which is there in SharePoint 2013.

Note:
If you find a different solution, please report it as a comment to this post. Be sure to double-verify it: undo your solution and verify that the problem comes back, then redo it and verify that the problem goes away.

Asset Library: Additional functionality to support the storage and organization of rich media, such as images, videos, or audio files.

Every time I tried opening the video files, they opened in the same window which I don’t want, there has to be a separate window in which I can open & view these video files!

How to do this? – Thank you for reading this article as this will give you the exact guidelines to achieve this!

There are two ways to achieve this end result:
1.    Out of box way | Default functionality
2.    Programming way

Out of box way:
1.    Open your asset library
2.    Change the view options
3.    Switch to “All Assets” view
4.    Right click on the Video file
5.    Open in a new window

Programming way:
Two references which are pretty awesome and useful too!

Why I am writing this article? Why i have selected "Asset Library" Only? - So many questions but answer is very simple: As i handles SharePoint support so i need to look so many SharePoint tickets on daily basis. Today's article is from one of those tickets!

Problem description: One of the business owners has opened a ticket by mentioning "the asset library is missing on his SharePoint site"

Error Message: NA as this is based on missing functionality so no break fixing here :)
  
Resolution:  
1.   Open the SharePoint site
2.   Site Actions
3.   Site Settings

5.   Site Collection Features
