Topic on Extension talk:EmbedVideo

Could it be that this extension to 1.36 is not yet running? I always have the following error:

https://github.com/StarCitizenWiki/mediawiki-extensions-EmbedVideo should work (if you only use the #ev parser function)

Wou, it looks nice. Thanks

I sent a merge request. Check this out.

The GitLab repo hasn't been updated since 8 months. I've heard that after the gamepedia + fandom merge they are taking every extension in-house, so stuff like embed video won't be maintained anymore

@Octfx Fandom just activated EmbedVideo across all of Fandom today, so they're bound to continue maintaining this. With Fandom on 1.33, I wouldn't expect them to work on this extension until they start working on their next MW upgrade.

Oh interesting, thanks for the info! But until they implement a more "privacy friendly" mode, I'll maintain the fork over at SCW.

Honestly, these days I think I would recommend using Extension:Widgets instead of this extension, unless you really need some functionality that it has but that Ext:Widgets can't replicate.

Dinoguy100: does Extension:Widgets allow for playing local videos? I did not see that capability mentioned at Extension:Widgets . Perhaps there is another option?

we use EmbedVideo just for local iphone generate videos and not for youtube etc.

EmbedVideos works great for our users in MW ver 1.34 ..

It does, see for example https://yugipedia.com/wiki/-OZONE-#Video. You can find prewritten widgets for use with the extension on https://mediawikiwidgets.org (though registration is required to view them, unfortunately).

Hi . thanks for the fast response!

yugipedia.com shows an example of an youtube external video.

we are looking to use local videos like this:

File:Test.mp4

I think for that you'd want to use Widget:Video, though I've never used it myself and can't offer any help with it. That being said, if Ext:EmbedVideo is working fine on your wiki and you have no strong reasons to migrate away from it, you should probably just keep using it for the present, and keep Ext:Widgets as a backup for if EmbedVideo stops working for you one day.

I agree with you. We have EV working on 1.34 and 1.36 now [ at the start of my questions I did not know about StarCitizenWiki's extension ]. So continued the thread to learn about possible options later on.

In any case we will be using 1.34 until the awful T212428 bug is fixed. Again thank you for the help.
