OggHandler is an extension which allows you to display Ogg audio and video files in wiki pages, using the same syntax as for image files. It also has limited support for metadata display on file description pages.

[edit] Syntax synopsis
Where Video.ogg is an Ogg Theora file and Audio.ogg is an Ogg Vorbis file:
- [[File:Video.ogg]]
- Display a video at its nominal size. Displays a still image from the midpoint with a play button to start an embedded player.
- [[File:Audio.ogg]]
- Show a placeholder for a sound file, with a play button to start an embedded player.
- [[File:Video.ogg|thumb]]
- Show a video in a floating thumbnail box
- <gallery>File:Video.ogg</gallery>
- Show a video embedded in an image gallery
- [[File:Video.ogg|noicon]], [[File:Audio.ogg|noicon]]
- Hide the help icon.
- [[File:Video.ogg|noplayer]], [[File:Audio.ogg|noplayer]]
- Show still image or placeholder icon only, do not embed player.
- [[File:Video.ogg|thumbtime=1:25]]
- Use a frame from 1 minute 25 seconds into the video as the placeholder image. A single number is taken as an offset in seconds.
[edit] Client support
We have explicit support for the following video players:
We have generic support for clients which claim to support application/ogg in navigator.mimeTypes, and for clients which recognise the <video> tag.
See /Test matrix for more information. Clients with no player available are directed to /Client download.
[edit] Installation
To install this extension, add the following to the end of your LocalSettings.php:
require( "$IP/extensions/OggHandler/OggHandler.php" );
[edit] Configuration
After the require line, add this to your LocalSettings.php:
$wgFFmpegLocation = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg';
you may need to change the path to your ffmpeg. You can find yours by typing: which ffmpeg
You can get better results from oggThumb if you have version 0.9 (unreleased?) of oggvideotools installed, which you will probably have to do from source. (oggvideotools 0.8 does not work as it is missing required output options.)
$wgOggThumbLocation = '/usr/local/bin/oggThumb';
[edit] Installing ffmpeg on debian
On debian etch 4.0 type: aptitude update; aptitude install ffmpeg ffmpeg2theora
you may also like to have a look at aptitude search ffmpeg
[edit] Requirements
Requires FFmpeg and PEAR. Requires web access to $wgScriptPath/extensions/OggHandler. See the README file for more information.
