Syntax for embedding a .ogv file?

I'm trying to get my first video file to play.

I've tried the following:

[[Video:Foxhat.ogv]|Video Test]]

[[File:Foxhat.ogv]|Video Test 2]]

But when clicking on either of the links, it opens the file upload page.

If I use: [[Media:Foxhat.ogv]] then it plays the video but in a full-screen player but I'd really like to be able to embed the video on the page.

I have no idea how to approach fixing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You have an extra ]. Syntax is [[file:Foxhat.ogv]].

If its just rendering as a link, it means that the extension is not installed properly

I`am having an exact same problem, i tried everything and it simply isn`t working.

The ogg, and oga files are displayed, and played properly. But link with

[[File:sample.ogv|sample]] always opens upload files page.

Since installation is a simple unpacking of files to certain spot i doubt that any 1 can miss install it.
