I have been trying the mwEmbed gadget on and off on the English wikipedia, and while some features are very attractive there are usability problems that dissuade me from keeping the gadget enabled for more than just experimentation. Here are some of the problems: And here are a few things I like, and should be kept: (I don't visit mediawiki often, so please ask me for any clarifications at w:en:User:84user) -84user 20:06, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * the menu bar does not always hide itself and remains covering up the bottom part of the video, I found this in Out of the Inkwell and Betty Boop - see Betty's signature "Pen and Ink" song theme (nine-second clip)
 * there is no easy way to click through to the description page of the video, this differs from the behaviour of images; I suggest a short link symbol, maybe in the menu bar itself
 * (this maybe a wikimedia server problem) I use the Firefox extension Firebug to show me what is being downloaded, and I noticed several repeating GET calls to a small fragment of the video, each sized around 10 to 20 kilobytes. These repeating calls appear to cause a several second delay to the total page load. If this is the mwEmbed player doing this, why? Is it trying to get a video still frame as a snapshot?
 * clicking the pause button keeps the video image area clear of any symbols; other video players on the web annoy me by placing a large "pause" symbol in the video center
 * closed captions
 * download option
 * choice of players, but please allow the user to also choose the native player of the browser
