Can I embed/reference a QTSS rtsp:// stream?
A:

I can't upload QuickTime (*.mov) files!
If you cannot upload anything, then first enable uploads. Find the line  in LocalSettings.php. If it is commented out, uncomment it and change false to true.

By default, Mediawiki still blocks many files from being uploaded for security reasons. Add this line your LocalSettings.php file, which will allow the upload of QuickTime files:
