Thread:Project:Support desk/How to use EmbedVideo extension (or any other)?

Hi,

Basically I would like to embed a youtube video on a media wiki pages. There seem to be a number of extensions available to do this, so I just selected this mediawiki-embedvideo extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo.

I followed the description downloading and saving the package and adding the require_once line to the Localsettings file. Finally I try to embed a video, as provided in the example:

When doing so, I just get a full blank page, including the menu on the side of the mediawiki. When checking the special:version page, The EmbedVideo extentsion (version 1.1) is there, so that seems to be fine.

Any idea on how I can solve this?

My system: MediaWiki	1.19.8+dfsg-1 PHP	5.5.3-1ubuntu2.2 (apache2handler) MySQL	5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2 Not possible to share the link itself, it is on a restricted network.
