[edit] Frequently Asked Questions

[edit] Can I embed/reference a QTSS rtsp:// stream?

A:

[edit] I can't upload QuickTime (*.mov) files!

If you cannot upload anything, then first enable uploads. Find the line $wgEnableUploads = false; in LocalSettings.php. If it is commented out, uncomment it and change false to true.

By default, Mediawiki still blocks many files from being uploaded for security reasons. Add this line your LocalSettings.php file, which will allow the upload of QuickTime files:

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'mov';

See also Help:Images: You may also need to remove the desired extension from the filetype blacklist in /includes/DefaultSettings.php.

[edit] Known Bugs

• Possible security issues with Javascript that are not tested yet
• Size/Width attributes don't hold up in Internet Explorer (6 or 7);
