The EmbedVideoPlus Extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds a parser function called #evp for embedding video clips from popular video sharing services. EmbedVideoPlus is a fork of Extension:EmbedVideo. I added new features, including caption and align, to the Extension.

[edit] Usage
For example, to embed "http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=CA&hl=en&v=VtTqpqGIIYU&feature=related", you can enter: {{#evp:youtube|VtTqpqGIIYU|Mozart concerto 20 in d, K.466 - 1. Allegro (1of2) Gulda|right}}
See the output here: http://derakhshani.org/ewiki/Extension:EmbedVideoPlus
The EmbedVideoPlus parser function expects to be called in either of the following ways:
- {{#evp:service|id}}
- {{#evp:service|id|description}}
- {{#evp:service|id|description|align}}
- {{#evp:service|id|description|align|width}}
Where:
- service is the name of a video sharing service.
- id is the id of the video to include
- description (optional) is the caption of the video clips.
- align (optional) is the align of the video clip in the page (it can be "left" or "right")
- width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
[edit] Supported Services
As of version 0.1, EmbedVideoPlus supports embedding video content from the following services:
[edit] Developer Notes
The major benefit of using a parser function as the injection mechanism for video clips (as opposed to an extension tag) is that parser functions can utilize template parameters (of the form {{{1}}}).
For example, say you found yourself making a lot of YouTube videos in thumbnail size, right-aligned like an image. You might make a template called Template:Youtube_tn which could contain this:
<div class="thumb tright">
{{#evp:youtube|{{{1}}}|{{{2|100}}}}}
</div>
And then call it like this:
{{youtube tn|someYoutubeId}}
