Topic on Extension talk:TimedMediaHandler

Is there a way to view ogg audio files from a remote repo, eg. commons? I use MW 1.26.2, Extension:TimedMediaHandler 0.5.0 and $wgUseInstantCommons=true;. I can see Ogg video from commons but not ogg audio from commons repo. Extension:MultimediaViewer is disabled. Any hints to resolve this?

Hmm, it should work as-is...

It works now, but the setup got a little complicated because I uses several foreign repos including commons. Another issue was that extension:TimedMediaHandler does not work presently with ForeignDBRepo (see Topic «Fatal error: Call to undefined method ForeignDBRepo::fetchImageQuery») so a setup with $wgLBFactoryConf and $wgForeignFileRepos[] was needed:

• set up a correct $wgLBFactoryConf
• set $wgUseInstantCommons=false; set it instead with $wgForeignFileRepos[] at the position you want it to be, e.g. as the last or as the first foreign repo. You may check the resulting order via api check meta=filerepoinfo, e.g. http://your-server.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=filerepoinfo&uselang=content
• set up a correct $wgForeignFileRepos[] with 'wiki' => 'db-in-wgLBFactoryConf' corresponding to $wgLBFactoryConf
• if you use additionally extension:MultimediaViewer make also sure that your other foreign repo media issue a header appropriate for cross-origin resource sharing or it will complain not be able load the media

I guess, finally the mistake was the wrong repo order and its configuration
