Extension talk:EmbedVideo/Archive

Jimbo -

I just added the following lines:

'youtube' => array(       'url'=>'http://www.youtube.com/v/$1'    ), 'youtubeplaylist' => array(       'url'=>'http://www.youtube.com/p/$1'    )

This allows you to handle YouTube playlists - which is a nice thing. ;-)

adjustable height?
Is it possible to adjust the height of the video? :-) --Ymmotrojam 20:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Heights are purposefully kept proportional to the widths. To affect the height, just adjust the width to whatever you want and the height will be calculated to keep the proper aspect ratio. -- Jimbojw 16:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

GodTube?
How would I go about adding GodTube to this? --12.219.103.195 17:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Cant get it to work

Changed code to add another site.
I have changed my copy of EmbedVideo.php to allow me to embed videos hosted on the Brillyunt site.

When viewing the site it now shows the code required below any videos that are suitable for embedding using this extension.

Deliberately not showing a link to my site in here as my intention is not to Spam, but to suggest that you may want to add the code below to the next version of your extension.

The extra code has been added near the end of the file:

'youtube' => array(       'url'=>'http://www.youtube.com/v/$1'    ), 'brillyunt' => array(   	'id_pattern'=>'%[^A-Za-z0-9_\\/-]%',    	'url' =>             'http://brillyunt.com/wimpy_wasp/wasp.swf"'.            ' flashvars="theFile=http://www.brillyunt.com$1.flv'.            '&defaultImage=http://brillyunt.com/wimpy_wasp/paused_old.jpg&startPlayingOnload=no&bufferSeconds=5&videoSmoothing=yes"'    ) );

FireFox?
I have it working on Safari fine - no issues, but when I pull up the site in Firefox, is shows a grey box, with YouTube labels, and a spinning circle - as if it is trying to load the video image, but it never loads.

Casey See my site

seems to be working now...

Autoplay
Is there a way to get a video to start when the page is displayed?

Casey See my site

stage6 option?
Is stage6 an option going to be included for embedding as well?

Vimeo
I found this here: http://www.vimeo.com/forums/topic:2933 'vimeo' => array( 'url'=>'http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=$1&http://server=www.vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color="' )

cant publish google video
i know just to play youtube video. can anyone explain me how?

added blip.tv support
I haven't tested this thoroughly, but it works for me. Add the following entry to $wgEmbedVideoServiceList

Usage:

The trick is that the id is not the number in the url from the blip.tv site (in the format http://blip.tv/file/869192/). You must dig it out of the embed tag.

Doesn't work with WM v1.9.3/PHP5.2.5 / Mysql 5.0.51a
Just getting a blank screen when adding code to LocalSettings.php.

If i add the code in localsettings.php higher up in the file, i'll get some garbage output in the header of the wiki page. If I place it near the end of the localsettings file, i get no page at all.

Thanks

Enabling full screen mode
As I wanted to enable fullscreen view with Dailymotion, GoogleVideo and Youtube videos for my website Wiki4Games.com, I slighlty modified the EmbedVideo extension. So if anyone is interested, here is the necessary modifications: You may find an example here. Thanks Jimbo for your extension :-) Franck Dernoncourt 14:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Dailymotion: add allowFullScreen="true" (line 92) -->  'wmode="transparent" width="$2" height="$3" allowFullScreen="true">'. 
 * GoogleVideo: add &fs=true  (line 196) --> 'url' => 'http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=$1&fs=true'
 * Youtube: add &fs=1 (line 205) -->  'url'=>'http://www.youtube.com/v/$1&fs=1'

Edit Button
This Extension works realy great in my Wiki. Such great as I tryed to creat an custom Edit Button for it like this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Custom_edit_buttons

mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://localhost/wiki/images/Button_YouTube.png", "speedTip": "YouTube Video", "tagOpen": "", "sampleText": "id|witdh"}

Doesn't work because - I think - "}}" is not able in JavaScript. Any idea how to get an Edit Button? --Mwuser 08:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Adding support for higher resolution feeds from youtube
Youtube can now deliver 480x360. You can add '&fmt=18' to the end of any youtube url to force the higher-res delivery. In order for this to work in embedded code, you have to add '&ap=%2526fmt%3D18' to the end of the urls and fix the width/height ratio. You can modify the EmbedVideo Extension with the following changes to add high-res support for your embedded youtube videos in Mediawiki. $ratio = 480 / 397; $width = 480;
