Reading/Multimedia

The TimedMediaHandler extension is a MediaWiki extension to display audio and video files on wiki with timed text support, real time stream switching and server-side transcoding support. It includes the kaltura HTML5 player.

This project is realized in collaboration with Kaltura and led by Michael Dale, along other Media Projects.

Rationale
Our current video handling solution for Wikimedia sites doesn't work very well. We don't provide different bandwidth renditions of videos, and the player is not up to the standard set by common video sharing websites.
