Extension:EmbedVideo/de

The EmbedVideo extension adds a parser function called  for embedding video clips from over 24 popular video sharing services in multiple languages and countries. It also adds video and audio media handlers to support transforming standard file links into embedded HTML5  and  tags.

Media handler
For locally uploaded content the process for displaying it on a page is the same as an image. See the image syntax documentation for complete reference on this feature.

This example would display a video in page using a HTML5 tag.



To specify the start and end timestamps in the media use the start and end parameters. The timestamp can be formatted as one of: ss, :ss, mm:ss, hh:mm:ss, or dd:hh:mm:ss.



Tags
The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:

— Classic parser tag


However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:



— Parser tag for templates
The  parser tag allows for key=value pairs which allows for easier templating and readability.

— Parser tag for URLs
The  parser tag is like the   tag, but its first parameter is a URL that will be parsed to determine the service automatically.

— Tag hook
Videos can easily be embedded with the  tag hook. The ID/URL goes as the input between the tags and parameters can be added as the tag arguments.

Alternatively, you can also use the service id as the tag (assuming another extension isn't already using this tag).

Beispiele


For example, a video from YouTube uses the  service selector. You can specify either the raw ID: Or specify the full URL:

To display the same video as a right aligned large thumbnail with a description:

For YouTube to have the video start at a specific time code utilize the  (URL arguments) parameter. Take the rest of the URL arguments from the custom URL and place them into the. Please note that not all video services support extra URL arguments or may have different keys for their URL arguments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAORm-8b1Eg&start=76

URL arguments can be used to chop up a video and loop it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAORm-8b1Eg&start=160&end=180&loop=1

Support for VideoLink tags
Support for the unmaintained VideoLink extension's tags has been added since version 2.5.

From the original extension documentation:

The VideoLink extension allows embedding of YouTube videos in articles; allowing for multiple linked videos to be played in a single embedded video player, first shown when a user clicks on a video link.

The &lt;evlplayer /&gt; specifies where the player should appear within the page, and the parser function allows creation of links that load a specific video.

— Tag hook for video container
This tag is used to position the video player container within the page.

A default video can be set to fill the container by default instead of default content as well.

An important caveat to make note of, is that the  and   attributes only effect the video that is being included into the container, and not the actual container. For styling of the container, please use the  or   attributes.

— Parser function for video links
In addition to all of the attributes supported by the  tag, these specific attributes apply to the   (and  ) tags. To maintain backwards compatibility, if you do not define a  then   is assumed.

Video link examples
Creating a video list allows video links to create a playlist on the fly using the youtube and youtubevideolist service.

Developer notes
The major benefit of using a parser function as the injection mechanism for video clips (as opposed to an extension tag) is that parser functions can utilize template parameters (of the form ). For example, say you found yourself making a lot of YouTube videos in thumbnail size, right-aligned like an image. You might make a template called, which could contain this:

And then call it like this:
