Extension talk:EmbeddedVideo

Does not work, looked through the code, some images that the code use, for example "extensions/EmbeddedVideo/video.png" and "extensions/EmbeddedVideo/PlayButton.png" doesn't even exist. I checked vPIP version 1.11 through to 1.13. The images don't exist on those packages, although I'm not sure is that the reason vpip is breaking.

---

I cannot get this one to work in my MediaWiki. I get the following js error: "vPIPPlay is not defined". It seems that the function loadvPIPResources() does not add the extra js code to the page output but I don't know why, can someone help? Any solution would be great! Please mail to jbouche at heine dot de

(Partial) Fix

This might get it (partially) working. (this got the video embedded, but only after clicking the link)

Instead of 
<video caption="a sample mp4">sample.mp4</video>

Use
<localvideo caption="a sample mp4">sample.mp4</localvideo>

Made it work with MW1.12

Here is the modified code that was tested on MediaWiki 1.12:

 * @author Russel Philip
 * @version 0.1
 * 
 * Changelog
 * =========
 *
 * 0.0 - Initial release
 * 0.1 - Changed the load of css and javascript to be part of the first
 *       embedded video in the body of the HTML page so that it gets
 *       cached. An alternative would be to use BeforePageDisplay hook
 *       (as recommended in MediaWiki bug 5077), but then the scripts
 *       are loaded site-wide.
 *       Also changed the tag from "video" to "localvideo" in order to
 *       distinguish from the videos embedded from external services.
 *       Paths to some of the images changed.
 *       -- Andrea Matsunaga
